Limited Features on IPhone why

Thank you for your reply, kym136

Following the link above: it says the app is called "Video Cam Pro".

We are all Apple users, like yourself in this community, so Apple won't read your opinions here.

For me, new technology often has a steep learning curve, before I adjust to doing old things in new ways.

Have you also focused on what you can do on your iPhone ?

(Eg: Some people prefer to capture video "clips", and assemble them, with transitions between.)

Apple wants people to be happy with their purchases, and provides lots of ideas, tips, and "how to" info.

Hi kym136,

Seems there's an app in the App Store, for anyone who wants to add pause and resume.

Haven't used it myself, so have no idea of its worth.

All the best :-)

Or load the Apple iMovie app, and edit the movie you’re now creating directly on your iPhone.

And log some feedback with Apple: Product Feedback - Apple

"Why" is not a question anyone here can address.

We are not Apple We can't speak for why they made the design decisions they did.

You're welcome, Kim 136.

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful reply.

All the best :-)
