As of today 2/23/2023 I only have time-lapse as a video option. What happened?

A bunch of us don't seem to have video capabilities in the camera for our iPhones and instead there's only timelapse as a motion option. New software iOS16 didn't help. Restarting didn't help nor did making adjustments to the camera in the settings as suggested from years ago. There are work arounds like holding down the photo button in photo mode for as long as you want the video to record. This seems to be an issue as of today with everyone I've contacted.

iPhone 12 Pro

Wait... Video and slo-mo are available options when I'm NOT on the phone. As soon as I pick up a phone call the video and slo-mo disappear as an option as I just observed that happen. Is this something that I've never noticed before? Like you can't talk on the phone and shoot video or slo-motion video while using the phone?


I tried the force restart. Sure, that got things back to normal on the camera app, but as soon as I took a call, poof, gone were the video and slo-mo options.

I had whatever the iOS version prior to 16.3.1 earlier today. I recorded a short video. 15 minutes later, I again tried recording a video and the video option was gone (as well as slow motion) and ONLY time-lapse was available. I rebooted the phone and for a few moments video and slo-mo were there, then they when I got out of the camera app and texted my friend who was also now without video mode, I clicked back on to camera and again, video was gone. I did this several times. I then downloaded the latest software and the problem continues. No Beta profiles, to VPN clients, no whatsapp..., I do have tiktok...
