### 7\. iPad Air Cannot Activate Screen Recording on iOS 17The list of iOS 17 supported devices is a mile long. Among so many devices, iPad Air users post iOS 17 screen recording not working problems most, up to 90% rate of breakdown. Here we also collect the survey data on other iOS 17 supported devices. You can have a clear overview about the rate of breakdown on different models of iPhone iPad.
On one hand, the potential reason might be the iPad Air hardware configuration. You see, the 9.7-inch iPad Air sports with A7 processor chip, Dual-core 1.3 GHz Cyclone and 1 GB RAM internal memory. These hardware configurations in iPad Air seem too low for recording screen videos on iOS 17. On the other hand, the hearsay indicates that this might be related with Apple marketing strategy. Each iOS update would cause some iOS bugs, and more often these iOS bugs happen on older iPads iPhones. That’s because Apple wants you to upgrade to new iPhone . As for iPad series, Apple encourages you to upgrade to iPad Pro in a silent way. No matter which one is the real reason, you can follow the tips and tricks to solve it.
- Backup iPad files to Mac/PC or iCloud and then reset iPad settings to factory settings.
