Absolutely horrible news. We need the timeline scrubbing with thumbnails without having to go into edit, ugh!!!! It’s embarrassing that Apple fouled this up so bad.

Man I’ve just reported this to Apple, I have the same frustration and couldn’t find anyone else with the same issue.
It’s the same if you make a video Landscape, the video zooms out. And if you want to edit it, it zooms out further!
Great video man 👍🏼
@@ST.DEWYIV yea it’s very frustrating. If they don’t fix this by 18.2 I’m afraid I’ll need to look for a different phone / OS.
@@brentgrab like you say, they’ve made a complete mess of it. The person I spoke to wasn’t even aware of the issue I don’t think!
@@ST.DEWYIV the whole support team is a joke. I wasted 2 hours on the phone with them only to be talked down to by some holier than thou middle aged support dept that thought he knew it all and ensured me “it’s a new feature and is working as expected”. 😂 😂

@@hurdles52 💯 who in their right mind could think this is a feature upgrade? I was on the phone for 2 hours with Apple support getting the runaround with their highest level of support trying to tell me with a straight face this is intended functionality 😆 I emailed them links to a ton of Twitter posts and various TH-cam videos and my Apple forum post here and they still didn’t get it. Praying this is resolved within a few days. Otherwise I cannot properly do what I need to do for my profession and will need to get a different type of phone.

Every few seconds you open photos it snaps back to half library and photos view
Every portrait photos videos go back to cropped view while scrolling even hiding controls

My advice for you is to downgrade ur iphone to ios 17.7 by itunes as soon as possible before they close the door to do so.
@@Mohamedahmed-jz7xd it’s a real shame. What’s laughable is that the people who probably approved / came up with this “feature add” make over a couple hundred thousand a year. Meanwhile any child could’ve done a better job not messing it up.

idk what they were cooking but the photos app burnt :/
edit: the scrubber also bugs out with videos over 30 seconds, and beyond that it just gets worse (around 40-55 seconds is where i found the most buggy looking stuff)
anything that is 1min20 or looks the same, longest video ive tested is 2min43
and if you go from one video to the next the scrubbing works fine... until you play the video and try scrubbing again
@@stopplecone the whole thing is a joke. To have the scrubber over the video instead of below is idiotic. And having the video shrink in size on the screen is the stupidest thing ever thought of.

please chime in on my Apple Support forum ticket too at discussions.apple.com/thread/255763909
No one has even mentioned how you can barely tell what part of the video you are on via the scrubber because you are looking at a white bar against a slightly off white bar to tell what part has past vs upcoming.

@@arvinhussein3559 it makes me sick to my stomach
iOS 18 is just a complete mess overall. I’m not surprised in the slightest- this is the new Apple
@@peppatheoof yup. It’s pathetic.
Pleased to say that this bug with the scrolling of the video when zoomed is fixed in 18.1, but the timeline scrubbing with thumbnails is only available when using the "edit" feature.
Absolutely horrible news. We need the timeline scrubbing with thumbnails without having to go into edit, ugh!!!! It’s embarrassing that Apple fouled this up so bad. The most irritating thing for me is not being able to scroll frame by frame in a native full screen view! We shouldn’t have to accept workarounds for the richest US company in history.
@@aaron-roberts what about the video opening in a small window default versus opening full screen?
@@brentgrab Same scrollbar style, not a visual timeline.
@@aaron-roberts gutted. That’s terrible news!
@@brentgrab Hmm I forgot to mention (because it felt kind of instinctive) that when you scrub, the FULL video scrubs too.. I honestly think it's fine. However, I can understand that if it's a long video, then it would be nice to know where in the video you're trying to scrub to in advance.

“Tim Cook, if you’re reading this just step aside and let someone with genuine technical ideas lead the company now. We’ve had enough of the marketing BS. Stop breaking stuff that was working perfectly by trying to copy someone else’s ideas. You’re just making your product look inferior. iPhone sales are tanking and this is what you push to existing customers? Who’s in charge of Quality Control? Are you even checking anything before deploying it to production? For the premium price you make your customers to use your products, this is simply unacceptable.”
@@dizzastrouskid yea these communists keep removing comments! It’s insane. I’ve seen over a dozen posted this week in reply to my original post and Apple has removed a few for no good reason. It’s almost like they’re trying to hide the issue or something. Truly wild.

Is this a „feature“ or a bug ?? I never had any bugs with ios and only argument for apple was because they never have bugs and everything works perfect. But ios 18 is horrible wtf is this. And the nee iphone is a joke as well… Apple downgrade itself hard. Maybe its the beginning of apples downfall
@@KrayGraphicsTM seriously, you’re so right! Everywhere I’ve been reading people are writing about how bad they dislike the iPhone 16 and no one in their right mind can deny that iOS 18 is a massive downgrade. The idiots on the phone at Apple Support tried telling me with a straight face that iOS Photos and the new video “features” are as designed and that it’s not bugs. If that’s the case I’ve lost all faith in Apple.
On a side note, I have had issues with all their laptops of recent years where they keep making the keys thinner and thinner and it’s given me arthritis in my finger joints. I had to buy an external keyboard. I saw on forums with a few other people having the same issue. The 2014 and prior keyboards I could type so fast on.

None of this things are happening to me. None. If you want to make it full screen tap the video once. The progress bar works perfect and actually it’s better than it was, I always had problem with it and I was changing to other videos.
@@AdamKowalski-hb2db having to have to tap the video each time to get full screen is asinine and a decline in usability and practicality. Also when clicking to watch it full screen you CANNOT view it frame by frame. The second you want to pause the video or want it frame by frame (scrolling with the scrubber) it reverts to the tiny size. Whatever team designed and rolled this out should be fired.
