Like most of the Apple fans, I used to update the iOS system on my iPhone when Apple released a new version of it. After getting some experience on the newest device, I learned that Apple unannounced a great feature in the new iOS 11 beta version, that is screen recording. So I tried to enable it from the Control center to record Minecraft PE gameplay on my iPhone. Unfortunately, I ran into the problem of iOS 11 screen recording not working. This made me very sad. Can anyone offer me an easy guide for troubleshooting this issue? Thanks a lot!
Although it is possible to use the iOS 11 screen recorder to record on-screen activities like videos, pictures on Facebook, Whats app, Snapchat, etc, it turned out that many of the Apple users came across iOS 11 screen recording bugs. Just take it easy! Here I would like to share the detailed guide for fixing them with you.
How to Fix iOS 11 Screen Recording not Working
Screen Recording is not enabled
Since you are planning to use the iOS 11 screen recorder, you need to activate it at first. The process for enabling it on your iPhone or iPad is very easy. Go to the “Settings” and choose the Control Center. Afterwards, scroll down until you see Screen Recording, add it, and finally close the Settings.
Open the Control center by swiping up from the bottom of your phone and tap on Screen Recording. Select “Start Recording”. As you can notice, the Screen Recording icon will turn red. If it is white or gray, you can turn it on by repeating the process.
The screen recording icon is blinking
In case you have followed the guide to enable screen recording and tried to start to record by tapping the icon from the control center, you may still have found that it didn’t work. Actually, the reason of this problem usually lies in that you have disabled the Screen Recording Restrictions.
To turn it on, please tap on “Settings” > “General” > Turn Restrictions on, then scroll down until you see Game Center. If Screen Recording toggle is white, please turn it green.
Not able to record sound
Did it ever happen that you come across the problem that you could capture the screen display on your device but without actual sound? To fix it, 3D touch Screen Recording icon in the control center and tap on the “Microphone” icon to turn audio on.
iOS 11 screen recording orientation bug
In case you encounter the scenario that you have just finished your recording and just tried to playback it, but unluckily, you found that the orientation of the iOS 11 screen recording broken, then it is a very irritating thing, right? In order to fix it, you may go to the Apple store to download a video editor called Cute CUT Pro. It can help you rotate the video to landscape or portrait orientation easily.

You can start to record video by launching the screen recorder successfully, but you may found out that the iOS 11 screen recording is not saving after recording.
