Movie length missing from iPhone 16 files on Windows 11

my media is missing the 'length' information on movies when i look at the properties after i drag down my pics and movies to my PC. im not sure the iphone is saving that info. that is when i look at properties before i copy down the file its not volunteered in properties. im on windows 11. never had this issue until i bought the phone16.

"yes im using window explorer. but 'length has no data in it. the bottom couple of movie clips are from other cameras. they are saved ones from text messages. my iphone camera is not adding the meta data i guess. but is do not see any settings for the camera that deals with meta data."

Thank you for verifying this.


See if this works...

  1. Right-Click: on the Menubar
  2. Select: More...
  3. Scroll: down
  4. Select "Length"

Seeing the Length of an iPhone Movie in Windows:


Windows Explorer:

Seems you are using Windows Explorer. So, click on the tab bar, and then select the applicable tab. A column will be revealed, revealing the length, itself.


No success?...
