iOS 18 RC adds the ability to pause video recordings in the Camera app

During its iPhone 16 event today, Apple showcased some of the iPhone 16’s updated camera features. One such feature included pausing and resuming in-flight videos shot with the stock Camera app. Unlike the new Camera Control feature, which is exclusive to the iPhone 16 lineup, pausing videos is available on older iPhones running the iOS 18 RC. This addition makes it possible to do jump cuts between scenes within the same video file.

When you record a video in the Camera app while running iOS 18 RC, you’ll notice a new pause button in the bottom left-hand corner. Tapping this button temporarily pauses the video recording while tapping it again resumes it.
