Link to iMovie in Photo Library in iOS 15

You can force the iPhone to download the latest compatible version. You must go to your Account on the App Store, then access the Purchased list. Click on My Purchases and select Not on this iPhone. Search for iMovie and ask to download. It you prompt a message that the latest version is incompatible with your device, but it will allow you to download the latest compatible version from there. Hope that helps...

Feels like they make so much money they have to do these things so they look busy. And it feels like kids are doing this, not adults.

I have the same issue with closing tabs on my phone. Last phone, 12, used to take two moves. Now you click edit, select Select Tabs or Close All Tabs, then click on the circle upper right in each tab, then click Close Tab, then click Close 1 Tab or Cancel, then click Done. WTF??? I am getting physical injury anymore from my phone. Never been with Android, but friends say it is same problem with constant changing.

Are you on iOS 14 or 15? Because that will only work on an older version of iOS, like iOS 14. That will force the App Store to download an older version of iMovie compatible with iOS 14 that maybe have the link to iMovie in Photo Library. That might work on the case commented by relaxedstability, that found an iPhone that is on iOS 14. But I'm just guessing here. All my devices are updated to iOS 15 and I can't test it for sure. My link is still missing too. I'm just relying on my previous experiences with downloading older compatible versions of an app. I hope it helps.

success. first time i created a new apple id/account - which would not let me download imovie from the app store and instead instructed me to upgrade to ios15 first. wiped the phone and setup again this time with my main/primary phone (ios15) account (logged in on both phones), and it allowed me to download imovie from the app store on ios14 and the original functionality to edit videos in Photos App via imovie extension has been restored. unfortunate i had to purchase a 2nd phone to solely-use dedicated for video editing/this feature.

I'm jealous and impressed. Now if Apple would do that for me, after all, they sold it to me, then took it away. Just like Adobe took back my $500 Photoshop. Just like Apple made 5 more clicks to closing out pages just so you can get carpal tunnel and give in to Siri. Never! Guess next upgrade I should read the small print, as if they put in there what they are taking away. "Are you sure?" ha ha ha

please go to this page and request the feature be re-added: https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos/

Me too, I cannot add music to my videos. So frustrating!

The link existed until the latest beta. When I updated to the official release it disappeared for me too.

I miss that option.

Ah. Just figured it out. The native Clips app is all about doing this sort of thing.

Hi!

Sorry, I got confused. There is a link in Photos to quickly edit with Clips or do we need to start making simple edits within Clips?

Thanks!

There is no link within Photos you have to just open Clips and oic which video you want to edit.

I’m disappointed because I like the option to link to iMovie through the photo gallery. I can’t for the life of me figure out a simpler method through iMovie itself. Please bring this option back.

Apple, cmon on now.. enough support here to bring back this functionality 👊 This is killing my IG game, please enable the imovie extension asap in the photos app 💪 this needs to return now!!

I’M SO UPSET!!!!! Why would you ever delete this feature??? What exactly are you thinking Apple??? 😤😡
