Live Photos was introduced in iOS 9 as a special feature for the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. It’s also the default camera setting for the iPhone SE, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7Plus. The way Live Photos works is to capture a MOV video file every time you snap a photo with your iPhone.


If as you suggest you have iPhone 6 Plus, you don't have access to Live Photos.
