iPhone randomly records screen. Screen recording disappears.

Hi there,

My iPhone has been recording the screen randomly and without my consent. The red line at the top of the screen doesn’t appear; but when I open the control centre then the Screen Recording icon is light up.

The video doesn’t appear in the photo app later.

It happened twice in three days. I already restarted my device. I’m connected to WiFi.

I’ll attach a screenshot.

Have a good day

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hello caterina987,


We'll need more information to see how we can help. Which iOS version is listed in Settings > General > About?


Do you see the option to stop the recording when this happens?


Are you experiencing any issues with the screen of your iPhone any other time?


Do you have any third-party security apps installed?


Thanks!
