To turn off the Live Photo feature when taking pictures on your iPhone, you need to access the camera settings within the camera app itself.
Disabling Live Photos When Taking Pictures
Live Photos capture a few seconds of video and sound before and after you take a picture, bringing your photos to life. However, if you prefer a standard still image, you can easily disable this feature directly from the camera interface.
Based on the provided information, here's how to do it on your iPhone:
- Open the Camera app on your iPhone.
- Look for the Live Photo icon in the camera interface. This icon typically looks like concentric circles.
- The reference notes that "when you go to iPhone, you'll see the live photo is on." If the icon is active (usually white or yellow), it means Live Photos are enabled.
- To turn it off, the reference states, "you can clearly just click it off that's pretty obvious." Simply tap the Live Photo icon.
- Once tapped, the icon should show a diagonal slash through it, indicating that Live Photos are now off for the picture you are about to take.
- The reference also mentions "you can click it down here as well to turn it off," suggesting there might be another control or area in the interface to disable it, but the primary method is tapping the main icon.
By tapping the Live Photo icon, you ensure that the next photo you capture will be a standard, still image.
Note: The Live Photo setting may reset back to 'On' when you close and reopen the Camera app, depending on your iOS settings and model.
