Help! Time lapse loading forever

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

Hi! I know this is from some time ago, but I also had this issue. After trying a few different things, I realized it only happened to me if my live photos was turned on. Make sure to turn off live photos and then swipe to time lapse, and as far as I know the ones filmed that aren't loading won't ever load :(
