watchOS 11.2 Lets You Pause iPhone Video With Camera Remote App

In watchOS 11.2, Apple has added a useful new feature that's designed to allow you to pause video that you're recording on the iPhone using the Camera Remote app on the Apple Watch.

watchos 11 2 pause video
The Camera Remote app has been available since the Apple Watch initially launched, and while there was an option to start and stop video recording, there wasn't an option to pause video and restart it. When a video recording is in progress, there is now a pause button on the left side of the Camera Remote interface. Tapping it pauses a video, and then tapping the red record button restarts the video.

Apple initially added a feature for pausing video recordings with the iPhone Camera app in iOS 18, and the watchOS 11.2 update expands that same functionality to the Apple Watch's Camera Remote app.

Other new additions in watchOS 11.2 include expanded support for tidal conditions and coastal locations in the Tides app in China. watchOS 11.2 will see a release alongside iOS 18.2 next Monday.

Would be great if the preview ever showed up. Such an odd long running issue. I have not had it work once on my series 10

It would just be nice if when I opened the camera remote on my watch it would actually display what the camera sees instead of just a black screen.

All possible due to the amazing S10 chip...which is actually an S6.

I use the camera control on my watch occasionally. This is a very useful addition. Ability to pause video recording is a very nice feature addition in iOS 18. Glad that it is now available through watch also.
