The feature will finally enable iPhones to film multiple shots in a single video instead of the current process that requires users to take separate recordings that must be edited together. When updated to iOS 18, a pause button is added to the Camera app which changes to a Record button when users have actively paused their video recording. Users can also switch between camera lenses while a recording is paused if they want to adjust the zoom or focal length.
The pausing capability was added to the iOS 18 Release Candidate beta that Apple seeded to developers on Monday following the “It’s Glowtime” iPhone 16 event.
