Many users wonder how to screen-record on Samsung A23. Some have trouble finding the screen recorder because it isn't in the Quick panel by default. However, others swear their Galaxy A23 smartphones don't have it.

We've scoured the web inspecting their screenshots, screencasts, and Samsung's announcements and updates, and discovered something unusual—users on both sides were correct.

How is that possible? Does Samsung A23 have screen recording capabilities or not? Let's find out.

Does Samsung A23 Have a Built-in Recording Feature?

Samsung introduced screen recording with One UI 2.0 on Android 10 devices. However, the One UI 2.1 update brought a non-working screen recorder to budget phones. The button was in the Quick panel, but tapping it did nothing.

We can't say whether it was a bug (Galaxy phones had many buggy updates) or a strategic move to encourage people to buy Samsung's flagship and upper mid-range models. Either way, the feature disappeared with the following update on some lower mid-range smartphones, while others got a working version.

What about the Samsung Galaxy A23? It has Android 12 and One UI 4.1 by default, so it should have a screen recorder, right? Not necessarily. It's a budget smartphone, so you may not have a screen recorder in Samsung A23.

However, many users do have it. After thorough research, we've found it depends on the market. The good news? The latest Android 14 and One UI 6.0 updates have brought the highly sought-after screen recorder to most Samsung smartphones, including Galaxy A23.

Samsung A23 is even eligible for the upcoming Android 15 and One UI 7.0, which will bring app recording support, among other features. However, the model won't get the ground-breaking Galaxy AI.
