With Live Photos, your iPhone records what happens 1.5 seconds before and after you take a picture. You take a Live Photo just like you do a traditional photo. Then you can pick a different key photo, add a fun effect, edit your Live Photo, and share with your family and friends.


  1. Open the Camera app.

  3. Hold your device* still.
  4. Tap the shutter button .
  5. Live Photos is on by default. You can turn Live Photos off temporarily or permanently Press and hold the screen to play the Live Photo.
