Highlights iOS 18 now allows video recording without pausing music addressing a long-standing user complaint. The update includes improvements in the Photos app. The new feature will allow users to create their own soundtracked clips with only their iPhone. iOS 18 is scheduled to get an official release in September 2024. Apple has started rolling out beta versions of the upcoming iOS 18, revealing some exciting new features. According to several media reports, one standout feature in iOS 18 is the ability to record video without pausing your music, podcast, or any other audio. This will work whether you're using AirPods or not. Traditionally, starting a video recording on an iPhone interrupts any audio you are playing. iPhone users around the world have often complained about this annoying interruption and the online community has been vocal about the much-needed change in Audio Playback functionality. Looks like Apple has finally paid heed to their request with this “Allow Audio Playback” feature in the next iOS update. Users have welcomed this update, which lets you continue listening to audio while recording video. This feature is part of the broader iOS 18 update, which also includes improvements in Safari’s Distraction Control, updates to the Photos app, and new customization options. Once released, these iOS 18 updates will not be limited to the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max but also for older models, going back to the iPhone 12 series. Here’s how it works. The new setting can be found under Settings > Camera > Record Sound and is turned on by default. This ensures that your audio playback won't pause when you start recording video. However, note that recordings with this feature are limited to 1440p resolution at 30 frames per second with mono sound. For stereo sound, it's recommended to use AirPods while recording. In the past, Apple did try to manage music interruption during video recording as it introduced a way to record video from the camera app’s photo mode. Users could long-press the shutter button to record videos and keep the music playing while filming. However, the video quality when recorded this way wasn't as good as using the dedicated video mode. iOS 18 Adds Camera Setting to Allow iPhone Audio Playback When Shooting Video Now with the iOS 18 update, Apple has finally addressed the issue in a more efficient way. Once you are done recording, you can then check your video in the updated Photos app. Keep in mind that since your iPhone is recording audio from its speakers, the sound quality might not be as clean as if you added the track using a proper video editing app. However, for everyday use, it’s more than adequate. The community stability score for iOS 18.1 Developer Beta 1 is reported to be 7/10, with positive feedback on battery life, temperature management, and device speed.
