Previously under iOS 17, you would hear the sound of the video when dragging the trim slider while editing a video in the Camera app.
Using iOS 18, there is no sound. I can't tell where to trim my videos. I intentionally trim around the "bad" sounds and now I'm no longer able to do that.
Why was this feature removed in iOS 18?

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
I found the solution for this undocumented change in iOS 18:
While editing the video, move the trim slider (sound scrubber) with one finger (keep it pressed) and press the play button with another finger. After doing this, you will hear the sound of the video as you move the trim slider.

Check the Apple Feedback app, but I doubt you’ll find mention of this. I can confirm the lack of audio during scrubbing.
I’d switch to another free app.
Try Adobe Rush, it’s free and might work. Apple Movie (iMovie) are two possibilities.,
As stated, the iOS camera app. In iOS 17, you can hear the sound of the video when you drag the trim (start/end) sliders while playing the video. This is imperative for my use case as I edit around the "bad" sounds.
In iOS 18, the sound playback while editing is no longer there. One reason I reach for my iPhone 15 Pro Max instead of the 16 Pro Max.
Pretty strange how new technology gets worse and worse over time.
The camera app has no edit features I’m aware of. Maybe I’m misunderstanding your post, like everyone else evidently.
I understand the necessity of scrubbing audio in the timeline. I used to be a certified Avid editor and edited on big Media Composer setups. I used to teach FCP. I’m just trying to understand what you’re doing.
Ah so maybe it's the Photos app that I use to edit videos on the iPhone. Now that makes complete sense! Anyway it changes nothing.
Here's the steps to reproduce the issue:
iOS 17
Go to Camera app
Tap a video you've already taken
Tap the Edit button
Press the play button
Drag the trim sliders while the video plays
You hear audio (sound) from the video as you drag and slide
iOS 18
Go to Camera app
Tap a video you've already taken
Tap the Edit button
Press the play button
Drag the trim sliders while the video plays
You hear NO audio (sound) from the video as you drag and slide
It's pretty obvious now that Apple removed this feature since I was only one out of billions of users actually using it. I'll continue to use my iPhone 15 Pro Max until iOS 18 is forced upon it and/or the iPhone 17 Pro Max is released with an upgraded telephoto camera. Boy, I'm a genius!
Not so sure about that, but you’re at least a certified scrubber for audio. 😁😁
That’s great that you were able to resolve your issue and thank you for adding the solution. I’m sure your post will help fellow community members in the future. Happy Holidays!
Wow it's amazing I was the only person in the world using this feature!
Any updates on this? When will this feature be restored?
What app are you using?
Any updates on this?
Additionally, does anyone have the patch notes between iOS 17 and iOS 18 to check if this feature was removed intentionally?
Will check it out, thanks!
