This feature allows iPhones to finally capture multiple shots in a single video, rather than the previous practice of taking separate shots that then need to be edited together. The iOS 18 update will add a pause button to the Camera app, which will change to a record button when users have actively paused their video recording. Users will also be able to switch between camera lenses while a recording is paused if they want to adjust the zoom or focal length.
The pause feature was added to the beta version of the iOS 18 release candidate, which Apple made available to developers on Monday following the iPhone 16 “It's Glowtime” event.
