Finally a useful camera feature.

I have not tried it, nor heard much about it, is the photos app truly bad?

The Photos app is fine, people just love to complain about things

With iOS 18, Apple is adding a new option that will let you pause a video in the middle of a recording, providing an option for capturing multiple shots in a single video rather than having to start and stop new videos each time.

When you start a video in iOS 18, you'll see a new pause button on the left side. Pressing it pauses the video, and pressing the button again unpauses. You can still stop a video at any time using the middle stop button.

Apple added the new video pausing feature in the iOS 18 release candidate that was provided to developers and public beta testers today.

It's likely that pausing and recording video will be a feature of the Camera Control button that's included on all of the iPhone 16 models.

iOS 18 is set to be released on Monday, September 16, while the iPhone 16 models will launch on Friday, September 20.

Android already had this for years, I think?

Something Androids have been able to do since ages ago. Embarrassing.

1 of the few real "androids have been doing this" valid points.
Wish Androids were able to upload a simple video to IG or any social network without severe quality degradation.

My mum's S3 in 2013 could pause video.

Your S24 ultra still cannot upload a video to social media without it looking cr@appy. At least Apple now can pause video recording.

Absolutely true, even my 1990 Camcorder has this functionality. Apple knows how to make people stupid and there are many in this forum. I used to be one of them but learnt it back in 2016 when Apple is selling same shi*t again and again by fooling people!

It is possible, it’s called iMovie or any other video editing app on iPhone.

You don’t have to scroll very far up to see my last response to this suggestion

iMovie unfortunately crops vertical videos into a horizontal widescreen format, and vertical video is basically the entire of what people use for sharing on social media these days. There really should be a much simpler way of doing something as basic as joining clips. But an updated/more capable iMovie would be nice too

It’s already mentioned in the thread, but I have it on my 12 Pro Max.

I couldn't wait and jumped on the RC. It's far more stable than any other iOS at release has been in a long time. I've actually noticed more fixed bugs than introduced ones. Haven't even found any bugs except that the new screen customization could use a bit more polish.

All the little improvements like this make it worth a day one upgrade in my opinion. This is the exact opposite of how I felt about iOS 16. 17 wasn't great at first either.

Just found out that iOS 18.1 Beta doesn’t any Videos Pause that iOS 18 RC has, anyone else having issues with the video pause on iOS 18.1Beta ?
