If your iPhone screen recording isn't working, the most likely reasons are: not having screen recording enabled in your Control Center, restrictions set in your parental controls, insufficient storage space on your phone, outdated iOS software, or a problem with the specific app you're trying to record; try checking your Control Center settings, reviewing restrictions in your settings, updating your iOS, and ensuring you have enough storage space available.
How to troubleshoot:
- Check Control Center:
- Swipe up from the bottom of your screen to access Control Center.
- Ensure the "Screen Recording" icon is visible and accessible.
- If not, go to Settings > Control Center and add the Screen Recording option.
- Check Restrictions:
- Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
- Make sure "Screen Recording" is allowed.
- Update iOS:
- Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
- Install any available updates.
- Check Storage:
- Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
- Ensure you have enough free space to record.
- Restart your iPhone:
- Sometimes a simple restart can fix temporary glitches.
Other potential issues:
