Apple allows you to save a Live Photo as a video on your iPhone. You can also save multiple Live Photos as a single video on your handset. However, if you’re wondering why you might want to save them as videos, there could be multiple reasons. Live Photos take more space on your iPhone than a still photo, as it records short 1.5-second-long videos. Moreover, various platforms do not offer support for Live Photos. Hence, a regular video is easier to save and share with others than a Live Photo. from Gadgets 360 https://ift.tt/4n9cW5Z
