Help! Time lapse loading forever

guys!

sorry but i dont speak english very good.

i just managed play that timelapse

i turned camera and i made another timelapse, but just about 20 seconds long, and then i clicked on the all photos but from camera screen (down left) and then i swiped to that old not workinq timelapse and it worked! let me now if it works for you

After seeing so many people with the same problem, please all take the time to report this bug using the following link:

https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Otherwise this will not be fixed!

I just spoke with apple tech support and they are aware of the issue and are actively working on trying to resolve this. However there is no solution to this problem at the moment.

One suggestion was to do a software restore. I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know if that will correct it.

Has anyone done that yet?

Have people tried downloading separate Timelapse Apps and seeing if they work fine for longer duration videos?

I’ve tried it and it was a waste of time. I know that Apple doesn’t monitor these forums (or that’s at least what they say), so I’ve submitted feedback through their online feedback form, but have yet to get a response from them.

Someone recently said they had one of their time lapse videos to process when they happened to have the video up and then used Apple Pay. They said it could have been happenstance, but at this rate it’s worth a shot. I just keep forgetting to try that when I intend to use Apple Pay. Going to make a concerted to effort to see if that’s some weird fix.

Same issue here, taking time lapses intermittently results in a video which stays on the “Loading” screen forever (as in sample screenshot from OP).

• iPhone XR
• iOS 12.2
• seems to happen more often on longer time lapses

Apple support ran hardware diagnostics on my phone which were fine, next step suggested a factory restore and see if it still happens. If it does, next step would be an Apple Store appointment. If it doesn’t, I set up my phone as new.

I haven’t done this yet since it is a huge time sink and pain in my a#%^, still looking for a solution online. But in the 7 months I’ve had this XR the only usable time lapses have been ones where I’m doing a test to see if it will ever work. Every time I try to take a “real” one, it has failed me.

Same problem happened to me! I was recording the fireworks in time lapse on the top of the building in the cold for about 2- 3 minutes, but it didn’t work. It keeps loading. Ugh. I got IPhone 11 Pro, 256. So disappointed!! Hope they can fix it sooner.

I’m having same problem.

First sunrise of 2020 time lapse which is amazing and it won’t play.

I can drag it in edit mode to see it but it won’t play.

Restarted iPhone 11Pro Max and it didn’t help.

I guess I have features on my expensive smartphone that I can’t use?

it says it’s a 21:00 movie which was like real time and not time lapse.

I know I set it to time lapse.

I made a timelapse for 2 mins but its not playing now ! Whats the problem with the iphone , I’m using the most updated iphone which is iphone 11 . Why is that problem is occurring. And how to resolve it ? I need my videos back

Same problem here. Iphone 11 Pro Max. Did a 20 minutes or so timelapse and after 5 hours i still get the loading message. And i am 100 % sure i took the timelapse with the 1x camera but it seems from what i can see under the loading picture that the video was taken with the 2x camera. Hope that they will fix this bug.

So I’ve gone to yet another country for holiday and took another time lapse today. The same thing has happened again!

This is disgraceful service. For a brand new IPhone 11 Pro 512GB. At least tell us that you’re working on a solution Apple?

P.S. Has anyone tried transferring the time lapse to their computer and seeing if it works then?

I just came here to post a “me too” while crying. iPhone 11 Pro Max 256 GB. You would expect something as basic as a time lapse would work, but it doesn’t. I’ve lost great memories with this bug and it’s frustrating knowing it’s been on for so long now...

iPhone 11 Pro Max

same issue. Super important video totally lost because the engineers at Apple can’t or won’t figure out this bug

data loss bugs are the most serious in nature.. but Apple won’t fix it

I can confirm this is very much still an issue. Was recording for about 5 minutes today and it is stuck on loading and does nothing else.

iPhone 11 Pro Max

iOS 13.3

iCloud photos on - I have 1.5TB free

I have 400GB free on my phone

I can't believe that after almost one year of the initial post of this topic, Apple still haven't fix the problem! I'm running iOS 13.3.1 using iPhone 11 Pro, this bug of loading forever after shooting time lapse is really not acceptable for a device costs up to $1,300+. Please fix this problem soon!
