Time Lapses are a great way to capture long static footage whether youre interested in the weather or the landscape. Not only do they help provide an artistic touch, they also help save space on your device by only capturing a fraction of the usually needed frames.

This can be quite a hindrance in a creative workflow and if youre in the same boat then heres how you can slow down your time lapses on an iPhone.

No, there is currently no native feature on an iPhone by default that allows you to control the speed of your Time Lapse videos. However, if youve recently bought a new device then chances are thatiMovieis pre-installed on your device.
