Troubleshooting Common Screen Recording Issues
Having trouble with your iPhone screen recording?
Don’t worry, I’ve faced similar issues before and learned how to fix them.
I’ll walk you through some common problems and their solutions.
Trust me, by the end of this, you’ll be a screen recording pro!
First up, is your screen recording not starting at all?
In my experience, it’s often because the feature isn’t added to the Control Center.
Here’s a quick fix:
Step 1
Go to Settings > Control Center
Step 2
Scroll down to More Controls and tap the plus icon next to Screen Recording
Now, you should see the Screen Recording option in your Control Center.
If you’re trying to record audio, but there’s no sound, make sure you’ve enabled the microphone.
When starting the screen recording, press and hold the record button and tap the microphone button to turn it on.
Remember, this button appears only when you press and hold the record button; the Apple Support page explains it well.
Encountering the dreaded red status bar that won’t go away, even after stopping the recording? To fix this, open your Control Center, then tap on the red status bar or the record button and choose Stop.
Is your recording not saving? It might be due to insufficient storage on your phone.
I’ve faced this before, and it helps to check your iPhone storage by navigating to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
If you’re running low on space, try clearing up some storage (iMobie).
Lastly, let’s look at privacy concerns. Some apps don’t allow screen recording for security reasons.
If this is the case, you’ll see a black screen instead of the app’s content.
For instance, streaming apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have this restriction to protect their copyrighted content.
