Fix Endless iPhone Video Loops in Photos App

Since iOS 18.2, the Photos app automatically replays videos until you pause them. While this feature works well for short clips (like pet videos or memes), it’s frustrating for:

• Longer videos (e.g., 3-minute family clips playing twice).
• Browsing multiple videos quickly.
• Situations where you want videos to end naturally.

Step-by-Step Guide to Disable Looping Videos

1. Open Settings → Scroll to Photos.
2. Tap Loop Videos → Toggle the switch to OFF.

That’s it! Videos will now play once and stop.

✅Pro Tip: For even more control, turn off Auto-Play Motion in the same menu. This keeps videos paused until you tap Play.
