This is actually a wider issue with live photos IMO - people often share them not remembering or noticing snippets of private conversations can be present. I have live photos enabled by default and have to remind myself to check the audio before I forward a picture quite often, or remember to turn it back to a static image. Sending your mother baby pics while your spouse moans about the mother-in-law in background, that kind of thing...
I'd actually probably get a lot of use from a feature whereby live photos displays a quick transcript of any words it picked up in the recording over the top of the image, or in a prompt, any time you try to share one with clear button to remove it. Similar to the local voicemail transcription feature, then I wouldn't have to waste time playing the recording. You could probably add the same detected words to the photos search index too.

- ok_dad 3y agoThere’s a setting in iPhones which will just send the static image when you share images.
- giobox 3y agoRight, but I don't want to always send static images either.
- hackernewds 3y agoLive photos do not even load on Android
- bobmaxup 3y ago> your spouse moans about bemoans?
- giantrobot 3y agoNo, moans. So that's how it is in their family... /Rooney

- tremon 3y agoSorry, I must be from the previous century... what is a "live photo" and why does it include audio?
- detaro 3y agoit's an iOSism for "short video clip"
- senkora 3y agoAnd by default every photo is a live photo.
- xattt 3y agoLive Photo is much better at telling why you want to use it.
- BoiledCabbage 3y agoExcept it's not. What's the opposite of "live"? "Prerecorded"? So these Live photos are supposedly not prerecoded - except they actually are. They are a prerecorded video that you send to someone. There is nothing live about it. You just fell for the marketing.
- mattkrause 3y agoIt’s “live” as in “alive” because you get a bit of motion. The opposite would be “inanimate”, which seems apropos. You’re right that there’s probably a video format under the hood but the experience to meant to be closer to a still picture with a bit of added magic (a la Harry Potter). The clip is too short to catch much action or have (intentionally) meaningful audio.
- Jemaclus 3y agoIn iOS, when you take a photo, by default it actually takes a very short video clip and calls it a "live photo." If you receive a live photo, you can tap and hold on the photo and it will play the video, which sometimes includes audio.

- somedude895 3y agoWhy do they even record / save sound? It's really dumb design. Most people, me included, simply don't know they're sending live photos. When you find out, first you're like oh that's kinda cool. Then you realize it also has sound and are mortified thinking back of what sound snippets you might have sent that you really didn't want to have sent.
- saagarjha 3y agoPeople sometimes like little clips of their kids laughing, etc.
- MagicMoonlight 3y agoYeah they’ll be amazing for memories when we’re old
