According to Apple, the iOS 18 RC update was rolled out mere hours after the global debut of iPhone 16 and it brings the option to pause live video recordings. It appears as a floating option in the camera viewfinder. Once the recording is commenced, s will now see a pause button on the left side, alongside the other ‘stop recording' and ‘snapshot' options.

Option to Pause Live Video Recordings on iPhone
Prior to the iOS 18 RC update, s did not have the option to pause live video recording. Instead, they had to stop and start the recording and stitch them together to make a single clip. Thus, it could potentially increase the convenience factor for those who frequently shoot videos on their iPhone.
Gadgets 360 staff were able to the feature's availability by ing and installing the iOS 18 RC update.
Apple's latest beta update comes with the build number 22A3354. It does not include any other new features but carries over the additions which the iPhone maker introduced with previous developer and public beta updates, including new ways to customise the home and lock screens, a new s app, a revamped Photos app, and more options in the Control Centre. iPhone s will also be able to record calls and have their transcriptions in the Notes app. These features other quality-of-life improvements that are expected to arrive on the iPhone soon.
The rollout of the iOS 18 RC update comes a week before the OS update is officially introduced for public s. Its release date is set for September 16 globally.
