Video scrubbing is very inconsistent on my iPhone after iOS 18 update

Since upgrading to IOS18, video scrubbing is now very inconsistent - sometimes working & sometimes I can’t drag the bar across at all.

I use this facility daily so this is a huge issue for me. Some friends have the same issue so not just me.

Is there any solution to this?

Photo App iOS 18 / MAJOR Video Player GLITCH I wanted to report a MAJOR glitch with the new iOS 18.0.1 iPhone 16 Pro Max model which I just purchased a few weeks ago. As a creative professional, I often pause videos to take screenshots and use the scrubbing feature to move it forward and back to capture additional screenshots at different moments in the video. In my prior iPhone 12 Pro using iOS 17 this was no problem whatsoever. However in my brand new iPhone 16 here's what happens: Click on a video to start playing Pause the video, click on it to make full screen (annoying feature btw) and take a screenshot Start the video again and the scrubber weirdly resets itself (loses place in video) and takes me back to the start of the video. When I try and use the scrubber dragging from one end all the way to the other it only advances the video seconds rather than the full length. Only until I completely exit the video (losing my place) and exiting the video itself does it then work again having to restart the entire process and locate the exact time in the video where screenshots are attempting to be grabbed NOTE - I have installed the latest software version, tried turning the phone on/off, closing app, restarting phone, and the same issue persists. Overall the photo/video app is a MAJOR disappointment for other reasons as well and feels like Apple took ten steps back with this. Really really bad design and takes zero consideration into how users actually, you know, use the thing. Hoping Apple not only fixes this glitch but restores the photo app to some semblance of the most basic functionality. Thanks

iOS 16 streamed video scrubbing bug Hi, there's a really annoying bug since upgrading to iOS 16 where streamed video content on my iPhone 13 won't scrub properly... it just keeps jumping back to the beginning of the video when I'm trying to scrub to other points in the video... anyone else having this? Thanks

IOS 18 photos App video scrubbing is ruined Now that I’ve updated the photos application I am unable to scrub videos nearly as effectively especially frame by frame. The video is shrunk down. You can’t zoom and scrub properly. You can hardly see where you are in the video with the tiny white bar at the bottom. Seems like such a step backwards. Apple please fix this.

I have the same issue 😭 Please bring back the old video scrubbing. I also use this function daily and now it is so buggy when I try to review my videos
