Some
iPhone users after upgrading their iPhones to latest iOS released from Apple
are facing issue with video shot from their iPhones, Some videos from a few
months ago those were saved to my camera roll won't play. Users only see little
loading circle like it is trying to load the video but it never plays the
video. All videos were playing before the upgrade and saved successfully. Since after the latest update some of my
videos plays fine and the others just have the loading circle. The issue is
reported across almost all iPhone models including iPhone 5, iPhone 6 and
iPhone 7 as well.
Fix for
the issue when iPhone won’t play saved video
Fix 1: iCloud
sharing
For
many user this fix worked successfully and the solution is to select the videos (All of them or one
by one, makes no difference) and press the upload button.
The
press iCloud Photo Sharing. It will show a timer saying "preparing".
Once this is done, the video should now play.
Fix 2: Load the video
first
Select
the video, but instead of playing it, there is a tab at the bottom of the
screen, chose the icon 2nd from right (looks like music sheet) 3 horizontal
lines. It should now show circle slowly filling up and saying downloading
video. Depending on the size of the video shouldn't take more then a few
minutes.
Fix 2: Manage
storage
Make
sure your iPhone storage is not full, in case it is please make sure to delete
some unimportant data from it. Hopefully your videos will play again.
Go to: Settings>General> Storage>
Manage Storage
