Ever seen how a cat or a peacock struts, taking their sweet time?

Now try recording that strut and making it into a slo-mo.

Yeah, same. Majestic walk.

Let’s use a popular social media platform like TikTok as an instance.

TikTok is known for its unique, amazing challenges.

A popular challenge that was widespread this year 2021, was the slow-motion challenge.

Whereby, you could be making a move and then, suddenly the slow-motion effect takes place and voila! A creative slow-motion video.

 It is quite known that Apple has some restrictions and that might seem less fun but, hey who said there isn’t a way out in every situation?

Escape rooms do have a way out as well.

As an iOS user, if you want to slow down a video outside the TikTok platform but you are not sure if that's possible or you perhaps,  you don’t know how to slow down a video on iPhone.

Well, then pop out the confetti, blow the whistle, and beat the drums because we’ve got creative steps for you on how to slow down a video on your iPhone.

Tag along with this article.

The in-built slo-mo function of an iPhone camera was created only for recording purposes.

You can’t make a solo video and directly use the slo-mo function of the camera, it doesn’t work that way.

However, there are applications with this slow-motion effect.

A top slow-motion application with over 80 million downloads is FilmoraGo.
