The Live Photo you sent will have the Live icon in the upper left corner. If you send the photo via Messages, you can verify you sent the Live Photo by looking at the conversation thread. Otherwise, choose Message or iCloud Photo Sharing so they can see your moving picture. If the person you’re sharing the image with is in range, simply AirDrop it to them. If you want to share the live part of the Live Photo, be aware of the way in which you’re sharing it. If you don’t want to share the Live version of the photo, tap the Live button, and it will turn to Off.
A Live Photo will have the word Live in the top left corner of the photo.
From the Photos app on iPhone, find the Live Photo you want to share. If you want to share your Live Photos to Instagram, Twitter, or other social media platforms, you can turn your Live Photo into a GIF or movie, which we’ll go over in the next part of this guide. We’ll go over how to share Live Photos from the Photos app and through Facebook below. Facebook already supports the sharing of Live Photos, but it must be done from within the Facebook app. If you send a Live Photo to someone with an iPhone 6s through iPhone X, they will be able to use 3D Touch to hard press the photo and watch it. You can share Live Photos via text message, iMessages, iCloud Photo Sharing, or AirDrop. If an application doesn’t support the Live Photo, it will appear as a still photo. You can share Live Photos in the same way you would still images. If you decide you don’t like the changes, tap the Edit icon again. Now press and hold the image to see it come to life with the changes you just made. To do this, press the Live Photo icon again, then press and hold the left and right arrows at the beginning and end of your Live Photo, and slide them to where you want to begin and end, then press Done. You can also make any other changes to your Live Photo now, including trimming off the edges of your Live Photo. Tap on different frames until you find the Key Photo you want to represent the Live Photo when it's a still image.
If you've updated to iOS 13, tap the Live Photo icon at the bottom of your screen to see all the frames of the Live Photo and choose which still image to use. Tap the Filter icon at the bottom to add a filter to the Live Photo. Find the Live Photo you want to edit within the Photos app. However, this isn’t so with later operating systems. With iOS 9, Live Photos had to be turned into still photos before you could edit them. If you have an older iOS, the photo can be edited, but it will not remain Live. If you have iOS 10 or later downloaded on your iPhone, you can edit Live Photos.
