Everything You Need to Know About iPhone Live Photos

What Are Live Photos?

Live Photos is an Apple technology that allows a single photo to both be a still image and, when activated, include a few seconds of motion and audio. Imagine an animated GIF with audio, automatically created from your pictures, and you'll have a decent idea of what Live Photos are.
The feature was introduced in Sept. 2015 along with the iPhone 6S series.

Live Photos were one of the flagship features for the 6S, since they use the 3D Touch screen which was also introduced on those devices. 

Who Can Use Them?

Live Photos are only available if you have the right combination of hardware and software. In order to use them, you need:
  • iPhone 6S or 6S Plus 
  • 3D Touch screen

How Do Live Photos Work?

Live Photos work using a background feature that many iPhone users aren't aware of. When you open the iPhone's Camera app, the app automatically begins taking pictures, even if you don't tap the shutter button. This is to allow the phone to capture photos as quickly as possible. Those photos are automatically deleted if they're not needed without the user ever being aware of them.
When you take a photo with the Live Photos feature enabled, instead of just capturing the photo, the iPhone captures the photo and retains the photos it takes in the background. It saves photos from before and after you take the photo. By doing this, it's able to stitch all of these photos together into a smooth animation running around 1.5 seconds.
At the same time that it saves photos, the iPhone is also saving audio from that those seconds to add a soundtrack to the Live Photo.

How to Take a Live Photo

Taking a Live Photo is very easy. Just follow these steps:
  1. Open the Camera app
  2. At the top center of the screen, find the icon that's three concentric circles. Make sure that it's enabled (it lights up when it is)
  1. Take your photo as you normally would.

Viewing a Live Photo

Watching a Live Photo come to life is where the format really gets fun. Seeing a static photo magically transformed with movement and sound feels revolutionary. To view a Live Photo:
  1. Open the Photos app (or, if you've just taken the Live Photo, tap the photo icon in the bottom left corner of the Camera app. If you do this, skip to Step 3)
  2. Select the Live Photo you want to view so it fills the screen
  3. Press hard on the screen until the Live Photo comes to life.

Finding Them in the Photos App

As of this writing, Apple doesn't make it easy to tell which photos in your Photos app are live. There's no special album or icon that shows the photo's status. As far as I can tell, the only way to see that a photo is live in Photos is to:
  1. Select the photo
  2. Tap Edit
  3. Look in the top left corner and check whether the Live Photos icon is present. If it is, the photo is live.

Can You Make a Live Photo a Regular Photo?

You can't transform a standard photo in a Live Photo, but you can take photos that are live and make them static:
  1. Open the Photos app
  2. Select the Live Photo
  3. Tap Edit
  4. Tap the Live Photo icon so that it's not enabled
  5. Tap Done.
Now, if you press hard on the photo, you won't see any movement. You can always restore a Live Photo that you've edited by following those steps and tapping the icon to highlight it.

How Much Space Do Live Photos Take Up?

We all know that video files take up more space on our phones than still photos. Does that mean you have to worry about Live Photos causing you to run out off storage?
Probably not. According to reports, Live Photos on average only take up about twice as much space as a standard photo; that's a lot less than a video does.

What Else Can You Do With Live Photos?

Once you've got these exciting photos, here are a few things you can do with them:
