It can be frustrating when a screen recording goes missing. Here are some steps you can take to locate it:


1. Check the Photos App:

- Open the Photos app and navigate to the Albums tab.

- Look in the Recents album, as screen recordings are automatically saved there.


2. Search in Photos:

- Use the search bar in the Photos app and type “Screen Recording” to see if it shows up.


3. Ensure Enough Storage:

- If your device was low on storage when you recorded, the video might not have saved. Go to Settings ➡️ General ➡️ iPhone Storage to check.


4. Look in Files (if saved there)

- Open the Files app and search for the recording. If you moved it to a folder or saved it to iCloud Drive, you’ll find it here.


If none of these methods work, it’s possible the screen recording didn’t save successfully.
