Screen recording error on iOS 26: 'This feature is not available when AirPlay, restrictions, or screen mirroring are active'

Please help me fix this problem.

Screen recording has stopped working on iOS 26.

Everything was fine until last week. Now I get the error: "Screen recording. This feature is not available when AirPlay, restrictions, or screen mirroring are active."

I don't have a "Screen Recording" button in "Restrictions," and I don't turn on AirPlay or screen mirroring when I try to record the screen.

Restarting didn’t help.

Figured it out myself. If anyone else encounters the same problem, restarting won't help.

The problem is that the "Screen Recording" lock was automatically enabled for some reason, and it’s impossible to switch it back because the screen recording lock control button has disappeared from the "Content and Privacy" section.

To solve this, you need to disable "Content and Privacy."
