Live Photo

Introduced in 2015, Live Photo is a feature included in the iOS 9 update for the Apple iPhone and iPad. When enabled, the Live Photo feature will record a few seconds of video before and after a photo is taken on the device.

To view the recorded footage, open the desired picture in the Photos app, then 3D Touch the image by applying force. If the Live Photo feature is enabled, a short video clip will be played.
