If you have an iPhone, you might have noticed a feature called live photos. Live photos are not just regular photos, but short videos that record 1.5 seconds before and after you take a photo, along with the sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They can make your photos livelier and more interesting, but they can also cause some problems if you\u2019re not careful. You could end up sending someone something embarrassing in the three-second video that you didn\u2019t want them to see or hear.<\/p>\n

For example, you might have taken a live photo of yourself smiling, but the video also shows you making a weird face, blinking or picking your nose. Or you might have taken a live photo of beautiful scenery, but in those three seconds, the video also shows someone walking into the frame, a car passing by or a bird pooping on a tree. Or you might have taken a live photo of a quiet moment, but the sound also records a cough or a sneeze.<\/p>\n

These are some of the scenarios that can embarrass you if you send these types of photos to others without checking them first. That\u2019s why we\u2019ll show you how to take a live photo, how to get rid of the sound, and how to turn a live photo into a still photo.<\/p>\n
