Is anybody still using Live Photos? Another Apple exclusive format that never made it to the broader public as far as I can tell. This spatial/stereo/3D video

  I’ve started again. I stopped for a while because they stopped feeling novel, but when scrolling through older photos from 5+ years ago, the photos of people that had Live enabled bring me a lot more emotions.

    I’ve noticed this too. The only reason I have live photos is because I went through a stretch of time where I accidentally took them, and now I wish more of my photos were.

  Samsung has what they call Motion Photos: https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/motion-photos/ https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/motion-pho...

  I’ve enabled it by default, and I'm glad I did. It adds just a little bit more to the memory that was captured. My only gripe is of the unrealistic “want my cake and eat it too variety,” where I shoot more in RAW nowadays and use third-party camera apps, so those don’t get the Live Photos treatment. I’ve “solved” this by purposefully using the stock camera app for quick snaps of moments I want to be memorialized for sentimental reasons and reserving the RAW stuff for more artistic purposes, going even as far as taking another photo with the stock camera app if the situation calls for both. But honestly, I much more appreciate my Live Photos, if only because they’re rolled into the Moments the iPhone automatically creates, which make for a great memory.
