Can’t Screen Record? Try this fix.
I ran into an issue where I couldn’t screen record on my iPhone. After checking my settings, I discovered that Screen Recording had been set to Don’t Allow under:
Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions → App Store, Media, Web & Games → Game Center
The interesting part was that I wasn’t looking for anything related to games—I don’t use screen recording for gaming—so this wasn’t where I expected to find the setting.
Once I changed Screen Recording to Allow, screen recording worked again.
I made this video to show the path to the setting in case someone else runs into the same problem.

If you’ve tried to screen record and it simply isn’t available, check your Screen Time restrictions before assuming something is wrong with your iPhone.
I recently checked this setting again, and the same path is still available in the current iOS. I hope this helps.
