How to Do Time Lapse on iPhone?

Published in Mobile Photography 2 mins read

You can create a time-lapse video directly on your iPhone using the built-in camera app. Here's how:

1. Open the Camera App

Launch the camera app on your iPhone.

2. Select Time-Lapse Mode

Swipe across the camera modes at the bottom of the screen until you see "Time-Lapse."

3. Adjust Settings (Optional)

You can adjust the time-lapse speed by tapping the 1x icon at the top of the screen. This will let you choose from a range of speeds, including 0.5x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 30x, and 60x.

4. Start Recording

Tap the red record button to begin recording your time-lapse video.

5. Stop Recording

Tap the red record button again to stop recording. Your time-lapse video will be saved to your photo library.

Tips for Better Time-Lapse Videos:

  • Use a tripod: This will help keep your camera steady and prevent shaky footage.
  • Choose a subject that moves slowly: Time-lapses work best with subjects that change over time, such as clouds moving across the sky, flowers blooming, or traffic flowing.
  • Adjust the exposure: If you're recording a time-lapse in low light, you may need to adjust the exposure settings to ensure your video is well-lit.
