I have taken time lapses a few times on my iPhone XR and so far the time lapse has been stuck on loading after I have completed the time lapse. This has happened twice now out of the few times I have used it.
Now I cannot trust the time lapse feature as I lose all the footage because it can’t be used. Is there a fix for this?
iPhone XR, iOS 12
Same issue here, taking time lapses intermittently results in a video which stays on the “Loading” screen forever (as in sample screenshot from OP).
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.
11 Pro Max 256GB 13.3.1 has the same problem too.
Same with my long time lapses!
iPhone 11 Pro Max
This problem appears just after taking videos of time-lapse and has nothing to do with iCloud settings. In addition, i found that we can prevent this problem by setting the compatible format (H.264).
Update. I left the video loading for 20 minutes and seem to have processed properly.
What does that mean? How do I do that?
If you see the video spinning let it go. It took mine about 20 min before it was working.
Short videos work ok however longer videos make take more time to process. I let the video spin for 20 min before it worked.
Good luck.
Totally works. Up you go...
Up to go. I left it loading for about 15 minutes, and the video became be able to play. Remember to go settings～brightness to set the auto-lock off.
I have had the same issue three times iPhone X Pro. Latest OS as date of posting.
loading, loading, loading. iCloud on, connected to wifi
What worked for me is:
When this happens, I take another short timelapse. Give it a try.
Yes, I just got bit by this bug too. iPhone 11 pro running 13.4.1. Bummer.
I just reported it May30 and nothing is happening
I usually just take another short random time lapse. The first one loads fine after that. This worked for me.
For me the problem is escalating. I made a short time laps, about 10 minutes of filming, and it's still loading after 2 days.
Help! Time lapse loading forever
