Apple iOS 18: New Feature to Pause Video Recording in iPhone Camera App
At the recent “It’s Glowtime”event, Apple introduced the highly anticipated iPhone 16 series, the Apple Watch Series 10, updated models of the AirPods 4, and a redesigned AirPods Max. Additionally, the tech giant provided insights into the upcoming iPhone operating system, iOS 18.
Apple announced that the iOS 18 update is set for release on September 16 and will be compatible with a variety of iPhone models. Among its many new features, iOS 18 will introduce an innovative capability that enables users to pause a video while recording.
This pausing feature is a software addition available on all devices supporting iOS 18, in contrast to the exclusive “Camera Control”feature that will only be available on the new iPhone 16 models. With this capability, users can seamlessly take multiple clips in a single video file without the need to stop and restart the recording for each shot.
During video recording in the iOS 18 Release Candidate (RC), users will notice a new “Pause”button located in the bottom left corner of the interface. By tapping this button, video recording can be paused, and tapping it again will resume the recording.
When paused, the button will display a “PAUSE”indicator at the top of the user interface beneath the recording duration, all highlighted within a red box. Furthermore, this pause button changes to a record button once paused, indicating that pressing it will continue the video recording. With iOS 18, users will even have the ability to switch lenses while the video is on pause, and later resume recording with the new lens.
This advancement will be beneficial for videographers, allowing them to create jump cuts seamlessly within a single video rather than needing to edit different clips in post-production.
In addition to the pause feature, iOS 18 is anticipated to introduce several other enhancements, including a Home Screen dark mode, flashlight customizations, simplified WiFi password sharing, an updated Passwords app, Playground and Genmoji features, RCS support, and much more.
