When you are on this page, in the option bar below swipe from right to left. The Timer Option is pushed to the next page.

Am no expert in this area, yet your post to the community deserves some response.

Maybe you aim to create a time‑lapse video of motion over a period of time; see Record a time-lapse video.


Else: for missing options:

Wondering if you are using an up-to-date iOS version on your iPhone 15 Pro:

You can check whether updates are available by going to Settings > General > Software updates.

(Please remember it us always wise to back-up iPhone before updating, or upgrading.)


ForiOS 18: About iOS 18 Updates - Apple Support says iOS 18.7.2 is the latest version

Eg: says: "This update provides important security fixes and is recommended for all users".

If you have upgraded: For iOS 26: About iOS 26 Updates - Apple Support iOS says iOS 26.1

Eg: says: "This update adds ... other features, bug fixes, and security updates for your iPhone".


Note: Seems the iPhone 16 models do have "camera control" settings that may not be available on earlier iPhone models):

You may want to send feedback to reach those who work on the software behind-the-scenes at Apple.

They will likely not reply, yet your feedback will be carefully read, and logged.

If others have a similar issue we may see an update that addresses that.

All the best :-)
