How to use the Live Photo feature on your iPhone to take motion-enhanced pictures
Figuring out how to take live photos on your iPhone can be confusing, as it's hidden behind a very tiny icon.
The Live Photo option native to iOS allows you to take pictures that "come alive when you touch them" — in other words, photos that also record a second or two of motion after you press the shutter button.
Live Photos offers three different shooting modes: loop, bounce, and long exposure.

They're a somewhat cautious, though huge, deep sea species.
