Yes, agree.
Thank you for all your help re turning ‘off’ Live Photo. It seemed to work, sometimes...perhaps mostly... I haven't gone through over 20,000 photos...yet.
Yes, but did not turn off for every photo in my Photos app. I followed your ‘perfect and easy to understand instructions' (provided here earlier) to turn off ‘Live Photo’, it stopped some of the ‘wiggling’ in my photos, but will need to still manually turn it off some individual photos… and that is too many.
Also, noticed the ‘Leaf’ still appears in some photos even after following the steps you provided. Other ‘icons’ will also appear (and more about that below). I am now thinking that there may be 2 programs going on in Photos. One, for Live Photos and another is called a ‘Visual Look Up’ button in Photos. I assumed wrongly — they were in the same app (feature).
I’d like to turn them all off.
The Leaf icon that appears, is usually in the center of my photos, sometimes on a persons face. There are also other new ‘icons’ in Photos as well, that identify other things, e.g. plants/flowers. Some are named incorrectly. I know this because the plants are in my garden and I already know their identity.
Also, I searched online and learned that an icon will inform of locations, eg statues, monuments, additional information, etc., other than just the ‘wiggling’. Thus thinking 2 different 'features'.
And, also searching at Apple Support, the feature in Photos is called— ‘Visual Look Up’ button, which is apparently different from Live Photos.
I don’t need or want Live Photos or ‘Visual Look Up’ - and want to remove or turn them off permanently.
The Apple ‘support’ page, describes 3 features, for the ‘Visual Look Up’ button that appears in my photos.
- Open a photo, then tap the Visual Look Up button
Tap the icon that appears in the photo or below the photo. For example, you might see a paw print icon (that will presumably identify the dog/animal type), for pets and animals, or a leaf icon for plants and flowers.
If you don't see the Visual Look Up button then Visual Look Up isn't available for that photo.
[And the app says—]
With Visual Look Up, you can quickly learn more about popular landmarks, art, plants, pets, and other objects that appear in your photos or on the web.
A conundrum.
