How to Record Your Screen on the Samsung Galaxy A23

Many Samsung Galaxy A23 owners wonder how to capture their device’s screen. The answer varies by region and software version, but the process is straightforward once you know where to look.

Does the Samsung Galaxy A23 Include a Built‑In Screen Recorder?

Samsung first introduced a native screen‑recording feature with One UI 2.0 on Android 10 devices. Later, the One UI 2.1 update added a button in the Quick Settings panel that, for some budget models, was non‑functional. The feature later disappeared in certain lower‑mid‑range updates, while other devices received a working version. The Galaxy A23 ships with Android 12 and One UI 4.1 by default, so a screen recorder should be present. However, the inclusion depends on the market. Recent Android 14 and One UI 6.0 updates have enabled the feature on most Galaxy devices, including the A23. The phone is also eligible for Android 15 and One UI 7.0, which will bring app‑recording support. The Galaxy AI will not be available for this model.

How to Find and Use the Native Screen Recorder

Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick Settings panel. Swipe down twice to expand the full panel.
If the screen‑record button isn’t visible, tap the More options (three vertical dots) icon.
Select Button order.
Drag the Screen Recorder (or Record Screen) icon into the Quick Settings panel. If it’s not available, proceed to the next section.
Navigate to Settings > Advanced features > Screenshots and screen recorder.
Tap Screen recorder settings.
Configure video quality and audio options: choose between no audio, media sound only, or media plus microphone.
Prepare the content you want to record, open the Quick Settings panel, and tap the Screen Record button.
Grant the required permissions: allow the recorder to take photos, record video, and access storage. These permissions are only needed for the current recording session.
When the three‑second countdown finishes, you’ll see a timer and a stop button in the upper‑left corner. Tap it to end the recording.
Open the Gallery app to find the saved screen‑recording file.
