Screen record function removed in Android 9.0

In previous Android versions it was possible - at least for Sony Xperia devices - when you pushed the "On/Off" button for half a second, you had the option not only to turn on/off your phone or take a screen shot, but also to take a screen record. This function has gone now. If it's possible, I would be quite pleased, if it comes back again in a forthcoming update.

You’re aware that Android Central has no affiliation with Google or Sony? We have no more influence over these things than any other users. You’re free, as we all are, to send feedback to them.
I can move this to a specific Xperia forum if you wish.
