How to Take Live Photos on iPhone

This How.com.vn teaches you how to enable and view Live Photos on your iPhone. Live Photos record short videos before and after you press the shutter button, letting you see what happened just before and after the photo was taken. Live photos are available on iPhone 6s and newer models. Because Live Photos also record short videos, they also take up more storage space than regular photos. [1]
