Live Photos is an iPhone camera feature that captures what happens 1.5 seconds before and after you take a picture, resulting in a 3-second moving image with audio. When you take a Live Photo, your iPhone records a short video clip in addition to the still image, allowing you to bring your photos to life. Heres how to use Live Photos on an iPhone:
-
Taking Live Photos: Open the built-in iPhone Camera app, select Photo mode, and ensure that Live Photos is turned on. The Live Photos icon appears at the top right of the screen, and if it doesnt have a line through it, Live Photos is switched on. Simply tap the icon to turn on Live Photos.
-
Editing Live Photos: After capturing a Live Photo, you can edit it by opening the Photos app, tapping the Live Photo you want to edit, selecting Edit, making your adjustments, and tapping Done.
-
Sharing Live Photos: You can share Live Photos with family and friends using iMessage, AirDrop, or iCloud Photo Sharing. When sharing via Mail, the Live Photo is sent as a still image. To share a Live Photo, open it in the Photos app, tap the Share icon, and select the sharing option you want to use.
-
Turning Off Live Photos: If you want to temporarily turn off Live Photos, you can do so directly from the Camera app by tapping the Live Photos icon. For a permanent solution, you can go to the Settings app, tap Camera > Preserve Settings, and toggle on the switch beside the Live Photo option.
Live Photos is a unique feature that allows you to capture and share moments in a more dynamic and engaging way, adding movement and sound to your photos.
