Live Photos not saving as video (option missing)

I’m trying to save a live photo as a video. I have a Live Photo selected in albums, the option is on “Live” and I hit the share button. The save as video option is no longer there. Help?

Hello MelodyGonzalez,


To clarify, did you complete the following steps to add effects to a live video:


1. Open the Live Photo.
2. Tap the Live Photo button Live in the top-left corner, then choose one of the following:
• Live: Applies the Live video playback feature.
• Loop: Repeats the action in a continuous looping video.
• Bounce: Rewinds the action backward and forward.
• Long Exposure: Simulates a DSLR-like long exposure effect by blurring motion.
• Off: Turns off the Live video playback feature or applied effect.


If so, your edits should already be saved and you can find and play your Live Photos as shown here:


1. Open the Photos app.
2. Tap the Albums tab.
3. Scroll down to Media Types and tap Live Photos.
iPhone Photos Albums Media Types
4. Tap one of the photos to open it.
5. Press and hold the screen to play the Live Photo.


Let us know if this helps.

Best regards!
