iPhone 17 screen recordings are shorter when saved to Photos

Hello! I’ve recently purchased an iPhone 17. I am noticing that whenever I screen record, the final recording saved in the Photos app is 2-3 seconds shorter than when originally recorded. I’ve been having this issue constantly for the last few days.

iPhone 17, iOS 26

To improve my understanding of the phenomenon, it would be highly beneficial if you could share a full screenshot (Do not crop it) of the screen recording time before saving and after saving. Visual representations carry a greater impact than written descriptions.


Please remember that this is a public forum, so when attaching a screenshot, please avoid including any personal credentials such as IP addresses, card details, email IDs, Apple IDs, IMEI numbers, serial numbers, phone numbers, order IDs, or any identifiable location information if you are sharing a map.



With the limited information that you have provided, it is hard to even guess the problems faced by you.
