FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about recording, audio, privacy and troubleshooting.

General

Is AIRec free?

AIRec is free to install. It has no ads, no account and no watermark on your videos.

Which Android versions are supported?

Android 9 or newer. Internal audio and echo cancellation need Android 10 or newer, and the trash with restore needs Android 11 or newer.

Does AIRec need the internet?

No. Recording, AI voice cleaning, editing and the performance report all run on your phone, and the app does not request the internet permission.

Where are my recordings saved?

Videos go to your gallery, in the Movies folder inside a folder named AIRec (you can rename the folder in Settings → Storage). Screenshots go to Pictures, and extracted audio to Music/AIRec.

Why does Android ask for permission every time I record?

Android requires your approval for each screen capture, for your safety. AIRec cannot skip this question.

Recording

What resolution and frame rate can I record?

From 480p up to 2880p and from 24 up to 120 fps, as far as your phone’s screen and video encoder support. Auto chooses the smoothest setting your phone can handle.

Will it slow my game or make my phone hot?

Video is encoded by your phone’s dedicated hardware, but every screen recorder adds some load. Start with 1080p and Auto frame rate. If the phone gets warm, try 30 fps. The performance report shows the real frame rate, temperature, battery and load for each recording.

How do I stop a recording during a game?

Use the floating ball, the notification, the Quick Settings tile or shake your phone (if you turned on Shake to stop).

Can I record a video that shows black?

Apps that protect their content (some streaming and banking apps) tell Android to block screen capture, so their picture can appear black. AIRec cannot change this.

Can I record without audio?

Yes. Choose No audio on the Home screen.

Audio

Can AIRec record the sound my phone plays?

Yes, on Android 10 or newer. Some apps block their sound from being recorded and Android enforces it. AIRec tells you when that happens, and you can use the microphone instead.

What is smart ducking?

When you speak, AIRec turns the internal audio down clearly, then brings it back after you stop, so your voice stays easy to hear.

What does AI noise reduction do? Why does saving take longer?

AI mode cleans your voice with an AI model after you stop recording. It reduces fans, traffic, crying, animals, horns, bells, knocking and sudden bangs. This needs extra processing, so saving takes longer, especially for long recordings. Standard and Strong work live and save faster.

Can it remove another person talking behind me?

Only partly. If the other person is much quieter than you, it helps. If they talk as loudly as you, no filter can separate the two voices.

What is echo cancellation?

When the phone plays sound, your microphone also hears it from the speaker. Echo cancellation removes that copy from your voice track so sound is not recorded twice.

Privacy and help

What data does AIRec collect?

None. The app has no internet permission, no ads, no analytics and no account. Your recordings stay on your phone. See the privacy policy.

Why does AIRec ask to display over other apps?

For the floating ball, the drawing tools and the saved-recording window. It is optional: recording works without it.

Why does Show touches need “Modify system settings”?

Show touches uses Android’s own “Show taps” option. AIRec switches it on while you record and puts your original value back afterwards.

My recording stopped by itself. What happened?

Common reasons are low storage, the phone closing the app to save battery, a timed recording, or Stop when the screen turns off. Run Settings → Reliability → Setup and health, and use Recover unfinished recordings if a recording was interrupted.

How do I report a bug or suggest a feature?

Use the bug report form. Please include your phone model, Android version and the steps that cause the problem.
