Video option gone

I no longer have a video option for my iPhone 11 Pro Max and the only way I can record is by holding my shutter button. Does this only affect the 11 series and any ideas to see if it’s just my phone? Should I go to my nearest Apple store and see what they say? Anything to help me sort this out or something like that please reply thanks.

Here is how I fixed this issue. 1. Open settings and click on camera. 2. Click on “Preserve Settings”. 3. Make sure “Camera Mode”, “Creative Controls” and “Live Video” buttons are green. Video button option returns

Open your camera and the white “PHOTO” button will appear; HOLD THE BUTTON and the camera will begin recording; let go of the button and the recording will stop.


if you want continuous recording without having to hold the button down:

HOLD THE WHITE SHUTTER BUTTON; begin the recording; then swipe right, and the recording will continue.


Must be something Apple did with the latest update.

My iPhone 12 is not even a month old. Today i tried to take a video and suddenly the video button is gone!!! I could not shoot the video, the interesting scene was gone. After about 5 minutes I checked again and the video option was back. i fail to understand this new phone. I am very disappointed with what happened today. I missed an opportunity to record something rare and beautiful. What a shame after paying almost 1000k for this phone. I know it will probably happen again. I have no confidence in my brand new phone! What will happen a couple more months down the line???
