Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Why can't I play my videos on iPhone 6 without requiring an Internet connection?!?! This is absolutely FKSKFIEDJ absurd and apple better come up with a solution.

Seriously, how much of a stupid iinconvenience is this? Why should I require a connection to play the videos I've recorded on my phone?

Thank you for your irrelevant response.



And to clarify further, when I click on a video, the annoying loading wheel spears. When my internet is turned on, it works. When I turn it off, the video wont play.

I have the same problem on my iPhone 6, plus I can't edit old pictures, if I am not connected. I want to know whats the point recording videos and taking pictures if I can't even watch them or edit them! I don't have access to internet always and it's really frustrating when you find out you can't watch video because you are not connected. Please can anyone tell me the solution for this, except to be connected 24/7 what is impossible or to stop storing videos and photos to iCloud.

Thank you

Go to Settings - Photos and Camera. If Optimizw iPhone Storage is ticked then all your photos and videos are stored in iCloud and have to be downloaded for playing. If you don't want that, tick Download and Keep Originals. Everything is working exactly as was designed to. It's up to you to choose the settings which suit you.
