Part 2．Reasons why there is no Android screen record recording function
If you are using an Android smartphone and can't find the screen record, please check if any of the following apply.
- You are using a smartphone with Android 10 or earlier
- Insufficient free space on the device
- Not displayed due to malfunction
Screen record is a function that was installed from Android 11. Screen recording using Screen Record is not possible on smartphones with Android 10 or earlier because there is no function itself.
If your model does not support screen recording, use an external app to record. External apps are compatible with a wide range of OS versions, so you should be able to record the screen on your device.
Screen recording takes a lot of space, so you need a lot of free space on your device. If you do not secure enough free space, you may miss an important scene in an emergency.
Delete unnecessary apps and photos on your device before using Screen Record. Especially for those who often save videos other than screen recording.
Although it doesn't happen often, we've seen reports of missing screen records or not being able to record, even on Android 11+ devices. In such a case, there may be some problem with the smartphone itself.
If you are unable to record on a compatible device, turn off your smartphone, restart it and check if it can be used normally. If you can use it without problems, it is considered that some kind of problem occurred only temporarily.
Part 3．What to do if there is no Android screen record function
If your device is Android 10 or earlier and does not have a screen recording function, use an app that can record the screen. Nonetheless, there are many people who do not know which one to use while there are various applications.
