[@mariacolonart489]

Thank you so much for the video!!! I absolutely hate this feature.

[@rollforever_85]

Amen!!

[@treyvonnecarter8908]

Same here, my blood was piping 😭🤣

[@solodolo6044]

Its so dumb

[@LTJR.]

@@treyvonnecarter8908 I love these phone semantics, they would portray Lombard Street in San Francisco as a straight line, plaid is now paisley…

[@asleepbytwo]

SAME. Did this fix it??

[@12thDecember]

Thank you so much! I knew I had turned it off and didn't realize it was re-enabling the live setting each time I opened the app. Honestly, why in the world Apple thought this was a good feature is beyond me. If I want to take a photo, I want to capture a split-second moment in time, not a photo encompassing a 3-second span of time. Subscribed.

[@kmstreamer2367]

Its probably because they want it to take up more storage so that you buy more storage space

[@angelwings1]

I was doing the same thing. Hate this feature!

[@robertchapman1883]

Hallelujah it’s off it’s been driving me nuts nearly every photo I take it’s like a little video and a pain in my but so finally it’s of many thanks.

[@lilianelapointe9274]

Oh my god you changed my life !! I was going crazy - hate live photos by default. THANK YOU!!!

[@MisterFizz]

Really? Your life has changed? How many times has LIVE come back on since you followed these instructs 4-wks ago?

[@lilianelapointe9274]

@@MisterFizz Never and it’s awesome :D

[@Rain2H0]

They made it more complicated than it should've been.. Thank you.

[@Quinellipe]

I wonder why they shove this down people's throats? To me it seems an unusual use case, something that likely is a benefit to 10%-20% of users and a nuisance to >50%. Maybe, though, people love this????

[@luvabhi3]

@@Quinellipe It makes photos bulkier and most people end up buying more iCloud storage. That is all there is to it.

[@luisbo333]

Yup! This option is ridiculous!!!

[@paulspomer16]

@@luvabhi3Yes exactly, it’s just another way Apple r8pes their customers

[@SMP_SMP]

So completely ridiculously complicated!!! I literally did the camera setting first and it didn’t even work then. So glad I found this! 😂

[@davidthegolfer]

Thank you. It works as you describe. I think there will be a lot of very happy iPhone camera users who feel just that little less stressed. Well done. Thanks again.

[@nonyabeatcat]

Thanks so much for this! I recently had it turned off thinking it wouldnt trigger "Live setting" but had recently noticed my photos were Live photos. And I hate live photos because they bulk up my storage. Kind of a confusing feature for Apple for this toggle to be a thing

[@luvabhi3]

It makes ur photos bulkier and most people end up buying more iCloud storage. That is all there is to it.

[@roberttaylor8402]

Man, me too! So annoying to have that setting constantly getting enabled. Thanks

[@janicemccreary3170]

Thank you for explaining what the iPhone wording actually means. I turned off the live picture in the camera app. Then checked the "live" picture off setting in the camera preference settings. Going back to take a picture - live action was still on. aaaaaaack! Your instructions worked. Thank you so much.

[@susanarcher6586]

Thank you so much for this! Live Photo drives me mad. Very grateful for this!

[@elwoodhsmith]

As so many have said, THANK YOU, Dusty Porter, for showing us how to turn off the annoying Live Photos.

[@ls-kk4pq]

10 thumbs up! Finally made sense and NO more live pics!! Thanks!

[@writegirl2937]

OMG! Thank you so much because that feature is so annoying! I appreciate the info!

[@meishaharris8055]

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to make this video. I was so tired of that live feature messing up my videos. Bless you & Thank you again. 🙏🏾🤗

[@chibson9123]

Straightforward tutorial. Thank you!

[@Firef8ter343]

You are the man! Thank you so much for this video. I had it turned off thinking it was going to be off and every time I took a picture it saved it as a live and I hated that. You, sir…are my hero!

[@candidCarolyn]

Thank you, short and sweet, easy directions 👍🏼

[@angelwings1]

It worked!!! I was accidentally preserving the Live setting while Live was still on my camera. THANK YOU 🙏🏻

[@kimc7376]

Thank you! Photos taken with this "live" setting take up a lot of storage space in messages, on my mac, on my iphone etc & I'm so glad that I can now turn it OFF permanently!

[@richardberryhill718]

Great video! So good, that I first turned off Live Photos, but after watching, turned it back on! Plan to use it to capture pets, landscape photos, anywhere it might be helpful.

[@richrobertson9457]

Ahhh...thanks so much. It was really driving me nuts trying to turn that off.

[@AnnaForever111]

Yay! Thank you. I’ve hated Live Photos forever. Now it’s off

[@biggles258]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I pulled down a set of pictures from iCloud to contribute to an album but each downloaded as a zip file containing a folder containing a .MOV file. It turned what should have been a short job into a day's job. Not Apple's finest idea by a long way.

[@sethdawg]

Finally damn been bothering me for two years at least! Live Photo SUCKS! 😂 Thanks for the video ❤

[@BrigitteCoffman]

Excellent instructions. Thank you! Brigitte in Tulsa Oklahoma

[@Sweetnessfollowsbook]

I am thrilled to be able to turn this off. Bless your heart!

[@yoursubconscious]

was it necessary to make this so long? 1. go to camera 2. preserve settings 3. last function at the bottom (as of 2022)

[@AGag47]

3 minute video, doesn't seem THAT long i.e. first world problems

[@yoursubconscious]

@@AGag47 - you obviously missed the point and have nothing better to do in life, so it seems. heck, have fun wasting your life!

[@TimChiara]

Thank you, this was driving me crazy trying to make it stay off!

[@Stewart5225]

Thabk you Mr Porter! Outstanding video!!!

[@user-zt6jg3uj4e]

Great, thank you. I do believe this is getting reset when ever an update is loaded, along with other setting being returned to default.

[@krispb-2.13.23]

OMG! Thank you! God bless you! I was confused by how they worded the setting and was so frustrated because live takes more storage also. I think being gen x I’m still obsessed about storage and battery power more than I should be but, you still should be able to change a phone setting much easier than this no matter what.

[@karnchanoke3535]

Author of the video gets to the point without the typical bla bla bla of many videos. Nice. Informative.

[@Norsknurse]

That was great and English speaking person. Double bonus. Thanks

[@marianlenehan9618]

Thank you SO much. I cannot imagine why anyone would want this ridiculous feature.

[@NickChad]

Thanks, I don't know how I didn't find this setting!

[@mohdasfan]

thank you so much . This setting was a nuisance to me for lot of time

[@mpbailey18]

Thanks..makes perfect sense. Hate the live photo feature....

[@wuverrabbit]

Tysm for FINALLY getting me to have it OFF by default!!!!

[@carolmiller9066]

Thank you so much. The live thing has been such an annoyance.

[@simonblackburn6633]

Brilliant! Shared with glowing comments! Thank you, Dusty Porter!

[@piapadmore430]

“Annoying” is the kind way of putting it. Live feature makes me crazy. Thanks for the tute😅😉

[@MrStevemcdade]

Thanks. Finally, I've turned it off after many attempts and advice!

[@victoriawoodward2645]

I have never commented on any KZbin video before but thank you thank you thank you. At last it is OFF!!! Much appreciated.

Thank heavens - how aggravating and you fixed it!

[@sarimali5713]

Yur a life saver thank u it’s super annoying having Live Photos 😒😒

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

So must have accidentally turned it on, because I would click off the word live, it gave me a choice off, bounce some other options. But when I would open up my camera it would be live again! So thank you❤

[@lynnekohler8299]

Thank you for much for this easy remedy!

[@pondparadisedesignsinc.rob5313]

Thank you so helpful 👍

[@jimbuddee5021]

Very helpful thank you very much, I did think the green meant live photos was on

[@Delcarme]

Omg i am so happy i found this!! I take so many photos and so didn’t need that live option Live the whole time thanks my guy!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@DaveOther-w1x]

Thanks, that is great, like many here I hate the Live setting and never intentionally use it. HOWEVER, having the soft button there means that I am always accidentally toggling on the 'Live' setting. Is it possible to remove that soft toggle button, so that by default 'Live' is off, and whereby, in order to turn the feature back on you have to go into settings? This would make it impossible to accidentally turn ON Live.

[@FrogsDad4]

Thanks Dusty. Live camera was pretty annoying.

[@user-uu4rg1tg3l]

Thank you so much. You have save my computer lots of shouting in frustration.

[@MrTargetone]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! All the other online info indicates under Preserve Settings to "Turn OFF Live Photo" which is totally backwards if you DON'T want Live Photo option on every time you open camera app.

[@marting6735]

Good tip but you can easily knock live on again by accident when taking photos. How do we disable this feature completely and permanently?

[@justmevsg1681]

Annoyance level was 💯 with live pics! Now it’s 0️⃣ THANK YOU!!

[@markbagdon9977]

Thank you for the video. What would you ever use the Live Photo mode for anyway. It just chews up memory and has no use that I can understand.

[@phimbalance]

You are my new favorite person in the entire world!

[@Schatzie301]

Thanks so much. You are absolutely right. I thought the toggle to green meant I was enabling always on. It was driving me crazy.

[@Dun41]

I got very annoyed of this feature, i search up this video, i follow the instruction, guess what, the settings already disable it a long time ago!! But why is it still here.

[@friesianladyforever]

thanks for this information! I was so frustrated with the live video on!

[@katelynnoneill4010]

Thank you! I had it on grey and was wondering why it kept taking Live Photos. Do you know if having Live Photos on causes photos you take on messenger to save to your photos app? Because I turned that function off but my photos are still saving to the app.

[@Kay_Drechsler]

Thanks for the hint. Very useful!

[@briannahostetter9325]

Is there a way to remove that Live Photo icon from the top bar? Sometimes in bright sunlight, I’ll accidentally enable Live Photo (like when removing my phone from a pocket). I have no use for that feature and would to remove it from the upper toolbar. Thanks!
