Reasons why screen recordings won't save on iPhone
Reason 1: Lack of free space
The most obvious cause of errors in the process of saving screen recordings on iPhone is lack of free space on the built-in storage, which is very similar to a similar problem with video recording. In this case, the recording may simply not be saved when finished, or it may turn off during the process with no possibility to restore the recording.

How to free up space on the iPhone
To get rid of the problem, it will be enough to delete unnecessary files and applications to free up space, which we have described in another instruction. It is also advisable to take into in advance the expected size of the recording, which should be related to the free memory space of the device.
Reason 2: Limitations in the app
Screen recording can be started not only for later saving to the standard gallery, but also for automatic posting to social networks like TickTock, which live streaming. The errors that occur in this case, if you start recording with the button on "Check Point".The most common reason is that there are restrictions or no at all.
The only available way to avoid these errors is to check the application restrictions. For example, the aforementioned TikTok only allows transmissions for s with a certain number of subscribers, while sharing the screen through Zoom requires a previous session.
Reason 3: System errors
A more complex and final issue that prevents you from saving screen recordings on your iPhone is an operating system bug. This can be a temporary problem, which is easily fixed by simply restarting the mobile phone, or a more global one, which is often not solved even by resetting the settings.
Method 1: Reboot the device

As in the previous section of the manual, an alternative is to use a computer, even to completely restore the firmware. However, we do not recommend that you do this unless you are sure of the cause of the error in question.
customer service
The last thing you can do as part of the solution is to Apple through the dedicated app and describe the problem in detail. As a result, you will receive recommendations for self-repair or you can a service center for diagnosis.
Please note that ing a service center is a last resort and rarely helps with these minor issues. In most cases, it will still be enough to check the free space and reboot, as explained above.
