iOS 18 Introduces New Video Recording Pause Feature for All iPhone Users

Apple is finally addressing a long-standing request from iPhone users with the release of iOS 18. The upcoming update, set to launch on September 16th, brings a new feature to the Camera app that will allow users to pause and resume video recordings effortlessly. This addition will make it easier than ever to film multiple shots in a single video, eliminating the hassle of editing together separate clips.

Pause and Resume: A Game-Changing Feature for Video Creators

Until now, iPhone users have had to stop and start video recordings if they wanted to capture multiple moments, leading to the need for post-production editing. But with the new pause button coming to the Camera app in iOS 18, those days are over. Users will now be able to pause a recording mid-shot and resume without breaking the flow.

When you pause a video, the button changes to a Record icon, allowing you to continue recording when ready. This simple yet powerful feature is perfect for content creators, vloggers, or anyone looking to capture seamless videos with fewer interruptions.

Switching Lenses During Paused Recordings

Another exciting enhancement tied to this feature is the ability to switch between camera lenses while the recording is paused. Whether you’re using the ultrawide, standard, or telephoto lens, iOS 18 will let you adjust the zoom or focal length on the fly. This means users can switch from a wide-angle landscape shot to a close-up seamlessly, making for more dynamic and engaging videos without interruptions.

Compatibility Across All iOS 18-Supported Devices

Unlike some of the exclusive Camera Control tools designed for the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models, this new pause feature will be available on all iPhones compatible with iOS 18. Whether you're using an iPhone 13 or iPhone 15, you’ll have access to this powerful video recording tool, which will be a major benefit for anyone creating video content with their phone.

The pause button feature was introduced in the iOS 18 Release Candidate beta, which was seeded to developers following Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” iPhone 16 event. The feature is expected to be widely available with the full public release of iOS 18 next week.

Final Thoughts: A Welcome Addition for iPhone Videographers

The introduction of a pause and resume feature is a game-changer for iPhone videographers, bringing more flexibility to how videos are shot and edited. With this update, Apple continues to refine its Camera app, making it an even more powerful tool for content creation. Whether you’re a casual user capturing everyday moments or a professional looking to streamline your video workflow, iOS 18’s latest feature will make your life easier.
