How to Disable Live Photos on iPhone

Live Photos is a great feature of the iPhone that captures a short video alongside a still image. It’s a great way to add a little bit of motion and animation to your photos. However, it can take up extra storage space and can be distracting when viewing your photos. Fortunately, it’s easy to disable Live Photos on your iPhone.

Step 1: Open the Camera App

Begin by opening the Camera App on your iPhone. You can usually find it on the home screen, but you can also access it through the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

Step 2: Access the Settings

Once the Camera App is open, tap the icon in the top left-hand corner of the screen. This will open a menu of options. Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap on “Live Photos.”

Step 3: Toggle the Button

At the bottom of the Live Photos settings page, you will see a toggle switch. Move the toggle to the off position. This will disable the Live Photos feature.

Step 4: Confirm the Change

Once you have toggled the switch, a pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm the change. Tap “OK” to apply the changes. The Live Photos feature is now disabled.

Step 5: Check Your Settings

To make sure the Live Photos feature is disabled, go back to the Live Photos settings page. You should see that the toggle switch is in the off position and the setting is now disabled.

Step 6: Take a Test Photo

To make sure the Live Photos feature is completely disabled, take a test photo. Open the Camera App and take a picture. When you view the photo, you should see that it is a still image and not a Live Photo.

Conclusion

Disabling Live Photos on your iPhone is quick and easy. It’s a great way to free up space on your phone and can help you keep your photos organized. With just a few simple steps, you can disable Live Photos and take advantage of all the other great features of your iPhone.
