live photos - save some individual still frames, delete others

Are we no longer able to edit live photos to the degree that you can select individual stills to save & select some stills to delete from a single live pic? I used to be able to edit libe pics and essentially pull/save several still photos at a time by selecting them.


How is this done on current iOs, iphone XS?


thanks-

iPhone XS, iOS 12

If you want several different still photos, duplicate the Live Photo several times. You can set the different keyframes for each copy, and then turn the photo into a still image. You cannot delete single frames within the Live Photo, but trim the eland of the video clip, see: Edit photos and videos on iPhone - Apple Support

To change the key photo or turn a Live Photo into a Still frame:

  1. Open the Live Photo.
  2. Tap Edit, then do any of the following:
    • Set a key photo: Move the white slider on either end to change the frame. Tap Make Key Photo, then tap Done.
    • Make a still photo: Tap the Live button at the top of the screen to turn off the Live functionality. The Live Photo becomes a still of its key photo.
    • Mute a Live Photo: Tap 🔉, Tap again to unmute.
    • Trim a Live Photo: Drag either end of the black frame viewer to choose the frames the Live Photo plays.
