Take a Live Photo


Live Photos records what happens 1.5 seconds before and after you take a picture. What you get is more than a great photo — but a moment captured with movement and sound. You take a Live Photo just like you do a traditional photo.


After you take a Live Photo, you can relive the moment instantly from the Photos app. You can enjoy your Live Photo every time you unlock your iPhone too. Just set it as your Lock screen wallpaper.
