Setting a live photo in Loop mode plays the motion sequence of the captured image in an animated form in a loop. However, before you capture a live photo, the Live Photo mode in the Camera app of your iPhone must be turned on.
After enabling the Live Photo mode in the Camera app, when you capture a photo, the Camera app not merely captures one still picture, but snaps a few seconds’ frame-by-frame video sequence, and picks the frame with the best photo for you. Whereas, adding the Loop effect to the live photo plays all the frames sequentially as a single animated clip, and when the clip reaches the last frame, it loops back and starts playing the animation from the first frame.
Creating a live photo loop is simple. Here’s how:
Capturing Live Photo
Tap the Snap button. This captures the live photo. You can tell this because you won’t hear the traditional sound of camera click but a beep of completion a few seconds later, indicating that the Camera app captured the frame-by-frame sequence of the movements during this time.
Creating Loops of the Live Photo
Swipe your finger from bottom to top again, and then swipe from right to left. This reveals the other two effects namely Bounce and Long Exposure. You can pick any of the two as needed. The process of setting Bounce or Live Exposure as an effect for the selected live photo is same as explained above.
