iOS 18 Disable Video Looping in Photos App?

Just talked to apple support and currently in 18 you can't disable it, but he suggested I leave a comment here to have them change it back in future versions.

Maybe if we all do that, something might get done in the next version.

I agree. Would like to shut off auto looping.

Yep I agree, auto Visio looping is the most annoying thing so far

I want to stop auto-looping for good.

Yes please stop the auto looping of videos asap!

I wish I never updated to IOS18 now! So many bugs! You can’t watch videos with sound anymore when your phone is on silent and now this stupid looping function!

Hate this feature. Apple: Please disable auto loop on videos or at least give users ability to turn off by default.

Agreed, it would be useful to have the option to turn off video looping

Apple has made a whole raft of changes to Photos in iOS 18 and, outside of pressing a button before using face ID, I haven’t found a single one which benefits the user over the Photos included in iOS 17.

Buttons have been moved around for no good reason.

Editing is now a lot more crashy.

I didn’t even realise there was a filter option on the main album until I pressed it accidentally and by default it wasn’t on what I wanted, so I couldn’t find pictures I’d added anywhere until then.

The scroll/playing bar on videos regularly does not move in time with the video.

Videos are no longer full screen and easily scrubbable like they used to be.

And no, I absolutely do not want videos to loop, partly because it’s irritating and partly because it isn’t helpful when checking an edit.

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!

Please turn off auto looping on videos!

Also why does silent mode (for ringer) disable audio playback on video?!

Also predictive text keeps altering word just as you post the comment. Making you appear to be an ignoramus idiot.

I’m referring to my previous post; video looping coming over as “ Visio looping”

Apple isn't here, this is a user to user forum.

This is a technical forum for users to help each other, not a platform for you to vent your frustrations at Apple.

You can make a suggestion to Apple here -

I had the same problem and I’m very frustrated with this feature. I to also show videos to people a lot and it’s important that the video stops at the end and not loop. I did find a way around this but however it is just another step. I found if you share it to files and play it through there it won’t loop. Hope this helps and I’m praying they get this fixed.

Apple, PLEASE let me disable video looping … I’m reviewing hundreds of videos to see which can be deleted or cropped and the looping is making the job not just tiresome, but stressful. 🤯😖🤬😭

I’m astonished this is even a thing — under what circumstances would it be useful?

Haha dear oh dear Apple! I criticise you about the awful iOS18 and you delete those comments! Well done!
