    In Android 9oreo, I have the Galaxy S 9 plus, but there is a button in the quick settings menu that says RECORD. What does this record? I turned it on, but couldn’t find any new files that got created because of this. What does it actually do?

      Can you share a screenshot in our Facebook page? There is no record button in quick settings by default. But some apps may add a quick settings button. But your need to manually move them up as explained in this page https://gadgetguideonline.com/s9/how-to-use-quick-setting-buttons-on-galaxy-s9-and-s9/
