Apple has introduced a much-anticipated feature in its iOS 18 update: the ability to play music or other audio while recording videos. This enhancement, enabled by default in the Camera settings, allows users to seamlessly multitask without sacrificing audio enjoyment.
Previously, recording a video would automatically pause any background audio. Now, users can keep their playlists playing, podcasts running, or even have conversations while capturing videos. While video quality is limited to 1440p at 30fps with mono sound, using AirPods enables stereo sound recording.
This update has received positive feedback from users who appreciate the added flexibility and convenience. It is just one of the many improvements in the iOS 18 update, which also includes enhancements to Safari’s Distraction Control, the Photos app, and new customization options.
Early reports indicate a generally positive reception for the iOS 18.1 Developer Beta 1, with high marks for battery life,temperature management, and device speed. This latest update from Apple further solidifies its commitment to enhancing the user experience and offering more control over iPhone functionalities.
