What Limitations Are There for Recording Your Screen? 

You can't record everything on your iPhone 12. The biggest issue here is that you can't record streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+ or Amazon Prime Video. That's because otherwise it would be possible to pirate the shows you're streaming which would be against the terms and conditions of using the service.

For the most part though, you can record anything on your iPhone 12 including clips of games you're playing.

Notifications and phone calls are also recorded so you may wish to switch Do Not Disturb mode on whenever you make a screen recording.

How Do You Adjust Screen Recording Settings?

In a word, you can't. The only options you can adjust are the ability to start a Facebook Messenger broadcast instead of recording and saving to your Photos. It's not possible to adjust the resolution or even the video quality of the clip. 

Once the screen recording is saved, it is possible to trim and edit the video clip in the Photos app.

FAQ

  • Why won't screen recording work on my iPhone 12?

    If screen recording is turned on in Control Center but you still can't record, you might need to free up some storage space. It could also be your Restrictions, which you can find under Settings > Screen Time. Check Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions, and look to see if Screen Recording is being restricted.

  • How do I use screen recording on an iPhone 12 mini, Pro, or Pro Max?

    The process for screen recording on other iPhone 12 models like the mini, Pro, and Pro Max is the same as it is for the regular iPhone 12. Go into Settings > Control Center and turn on Screen Recording. Then open Control Center (swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen) and tap the Screen Record icon.
