iOS 18 Disable Video Looping in Photos App?

Yes, very annoying

iOS 18 — Disable auto video looping in Photo app!!! Add an option button to auto loop, but don’t make it the default.

Didn’t get it with 18.0.1 … why???

Because Apple isn’t going to go to the expense and effort to fix a minor annoyance to a few users. It may be in a future update if thousands of users request it in https://apple.com/feedback, but just post in this user-to-user forum doesn’t move the needle. Have you provided feedback, for a start?

I agree so much that video looping which I can’t control needs to be changed. Please take this away that our videos keep replaying with this new iOS 18 update!

Absolutely agree videos looping is most annoying. Please Apple stop this happening or put a toggle to have it as an option.

Get rid of the video auto loop with the next update, please!!

I see you haven’t read the 6 pages of the thread you added to, either.

very annoying, makes video editing almost impossible. Why no turn off option?

I hate the looping video. I hate the teeny tiny display that I cannot see. (What happened to Apple’s ADA compliance team?) I hate the duplicate notifications of “comments” on shared photos. What an annoying mess this is. Constantly drawing my attention to this program makes me hate Apple. And I have used it since the beginning. Please restore some semblance of simplicity.

These changes are entirely pointless, in some cases buggy, and do not benefit the end user! Fix the leaking roof of features that have needed fixing forever instead of moving the furniture around in the room and calling it a new house!

Why are you telling us? We can't do anything about it. Tell Apple using the Feedback link already provided.

Personally, I like the new version of Photos and find it much more user friendly. I'm not alone.

There are thousands of features that are “forced on users”, starting with the very first iPhone, which had thousands of features never before seen on a cell phone. Virtually every function an iPhone has (or an Android phone, for that matter) was “forced on users”.

And the simple solution is to hit the pause button when it restarts.

You would be enlightened by reading the 6 pages of the thread you just added to.

Apple pls fix it asap.

Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. However, you can use the feedback previously provided in this thread to let them know your thoughts.

This comment by JC3476 would fix the whole issue for me. Thanks. He said ..

Plenty of reasons. Often new connections don’t show unless you disable and then enable again. To disconnect multiple devices at one time. To stop a frozen connection easier than going into the individual connection with multiple extra touches.

Interesting that in 17 years of using iPhones, none of those issues has ever happened to me. I have never turned off Bluetooth for any reason, and all of my BT devices have always worked perfectly.

I agree, too!

I think the possible fix, however, is to no longer have this looping, as it has always been.

The looping feature could be introduced in a command in the settings, IF THE USER so desires.

Apple cannot determine that my videos are, on the iPhone, played in a loop.

I requested this auto looping be disabled or provide an option for the user to turn it off. If you are annoyed also please make a request here directly to Apple. Feedback - Photos - Apple
