This article explains how you can fix the iPhone 18 Pro video freezing problem. Several users have reported that video recordings freeze or lag while using the built-in camera app and these occur almost randomly. This can be very frustrating because when this happens, your video recording will stop. Users further reported that sometimes video freezes with black screen but audio continues recording. And lastly some users stated that video recordings keep pausing.
This issue is basically that the Camera App freezes and the content that was being recorded does not work. If the iPhone video recording and Apple’s Camera app are not working as expected, the following tips may help you resolve it:
1-Close the Camera app and open it again. Here is how:
- Go to Home screen, from the bottom of your screen, swipe up, this will reveal last used apps.
- Find the Camera app icon, you may swipe right or left
- And swipe up on the Camera icon.
- This will force close the app.
- Now launch the app and try recording videos.
2-Restart your iPhone 18 Pro (turn off and turn on). You can do so by going to Settings > General > Shut Down and slide the slider and then turn it on again by pressing and holding the side button until you see the Apple logo.
3-Force restart your iPhone 18 Pro. This is also called soft reset but do not worry this action will not erase data. Here is how:
- Press and quickly release the volume up button. Press and quickly release the volume down button. Press and hold the side button. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
4-Update your iPhone 18 Pro to the latest version of the iOS software. You can do so wirelessly by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
5-Make sure that you have enough space on your device to record videos. You may want to go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. This screen provides an overview of your device’s storage use. You may want to delete unused apps or other files. This screen also includes a section called “Recommendations”. You may also follow these recommendations.
If the issue continues, you may want to make a Genius bar reservation. Apple offers a variety of support options such as live chat.
