iPhone 15 Pro Live Photo selection changes brightness

Hi.

You can try to disable the HDR configuration in the photo adjustment.

Happens also on my humble iPhone 12 mini. I suspect this may be a software effect, perhaps something introduced recently.

Good example is photo of full moon rising over the mountains before sunset, taken as Live Photo. Viewed on iPhone from library, moon pops out very bright. However all of the individual photos from the live series show a much dimmer moon, and same with anything I send or post on social media.

Hello Mdealio,

Let's use the steps below to set the desired photo a the key photo to see if that behavior still persists:

1. Open the Live Photo and tap Edit.

2. Tap the Live Photos button .

3. Move the slider to change the frame.

4. Release your finger, then tap Make Key Photo.

5. Tap Done

You can also find those steps in this resource: Take and edit Live Photos - Apple Support

Should that behavior still persist, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Apple Support They'll be in the best position to look into this further.

Take care.

Mdealio,

If you haven't just yet, you may try reaching out to Apple Support to investigate things further. This link can help start the support request to reach out: Apple Support

Cheers.

Hello! were you able to solve it? It also happens to me when I try to upload a live photo to Instagram

Similar: outdoor photos are brighter in photo library than they appear in an upload to text message, Instagram, email, etc. This happens whether the live function is on or turned off.
