I have the same issue and my iPhone is up to date. So is my Mac and iPad. The FaceTime live photos do not appear on any of my devices. The last one taken and saved on 5/3/2020. None have saved since. I'm up to date. I've restarted, turned FaceTime on off, and the problem persists. Everything was fine until a week ago. HELP!!!

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities jgreenfield18,


I see that you're having an issue with FaceTime Live photos not saving to your Camera roll. I can understand your concern, and I'd be happy to help.


First, let's have you force close FaceTime and then restart your device. Once the device has finished restarting, test to see if the issue remains.


How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Restart your iPhone


Also, take a look at the article below for some help with FaceTime.


Use FaceTime with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If the issue remains, respond back with some more details. Have you been able to save the photos before? Is this only happening with a specific contact? Are you getting an error message after taking the photo?


I look forward to hearing back from you.

Have a great day!

update your phone. i had the same issue so i contacted apple support. they told me to update. photos that you take on facetime will now show up in the photos app after the update. give it about an hour to finish everything after the update though. it didn’t work right away for me.
