Clock alarm deletes video recording

I was recording at a concert last night and I lost, going on 10 minutes of footage when an alarm went off. Is there anyway to recover that footage?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

The alarm will stop video recording but will save all the videos taken till the time the Alarm did not go off. If it is not saved there is no way to recover that. If the recording is not saved it may be some other reason and is not caused by the Alarm set in the Alarm Clock.


  1. If your device's storage space was low or insufficient, it could prevent the video from being saved. In such cases, the device may not have had enough space to store the video file, resulting in its omission from the Photos app.
  2. It's also possible that an accidental action or mistake on your part caused the video not to save. For instance, you may have accidentally canceled the saving process or closed the recording app before the video had a chance to save.


Even some notifications may cause video recording to stop. However, automated saving videos will never be an issue.
