Live photos won’t autoplay

Iphone 13 pro max, ios 16.3

toggle on for autoplay videos and live photos but only videos would autoplay and not the live photos. Ive tried turning the toggle on and off and then restart, still didn’t fix it. It’s frustrating!

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi natsc,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


They were good things to try!

If you haven't already done so, you might want to try updating to the latest iOS 16.3.1


Otherwise:

For Camera: Take Live Photos with your iPhone camera – Apple Support

Says:

To play the Live Photo, tap the photo thumbnail at the bottom of the screen, then touch and hold the screen to play it.

and

Note: "Live Photos aren’t available when ProRAW is turned on."

For Photos app:

View photos in the Photos app on iPhone – Apple Support

says:

For individual photos:

Tip: When viewing a Live Photo , touch and hold the photo to play it."


Play videos and slideshows in the Photos app on iPhone – Apple Support

says:

"You can also create slideshows of the photos, videos, and Live Photos in your library".


Else: Seems to be nothing there about Autoplay.


If you wish you could contact Photos Support,

All the best :-)
