Question

My iPhone doesn't have the screen recording option. What do I do?

Mr.HandyDandy

Community Answer

This feature requires iOS 11 or later. If you don't see the screen recording feature on your phone, you may need to update your iPhone's operating system.

Question

What if it does not work if I update it?

Asher Bezdek

Community Answer

It should still work when you update it. If it does not, then other people are experiencing the same problem. A new update should arrive shortly and fix the problem, so keep checking for an update.

Does the recording stop when the screen saver activates or the iPad screen shuts off?

Yes, the recording will stop when the screen saver activates or the iPad screen shuts off, so ensure your device remains active during recording.

Question

If I don't have iOS 11 or later, is there any way for me to record my screen?

Henry Curran

Community Answer

You cannot use the official Apple screen recording feature. There may be apps in the App Store that allow you to screen record, but the official feature won't work.
