Live photo can be a unique feature for your photos. But it can also be a pain in the ass, especially if you have limited space on the device. When enabled, Live Photo takes 1.5 seconds of footage before taking an actual photo. That’s why you may see some animation when you scroll through your photos.

but fortunately, Apple has made it easy to disable. Here’s how:

* Go into the photos app (make sure you’re in photo mode).

* On the top of the screen, look for three concentric rings (it maybe colored yellow if it’s enabled).

Tap on the icon. Live Photo is now disabled. Tap the icon again to turn it back on.
That’s it. Now take your photos as normal.

This setting will only work until you exit the app. If you want to make the option perminate, you’ll have to change the setting in the Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings area.
