When I press to take a single photo, it changes photos into mpegs - iPhone 11 Pro

Using the camera


When I press to take a single photo, sometimes while doing this it changes photos into mpegs when i only want jpeg files. How do I stop this happening?

You, probably, are taking live photos.


Here is how a Live Photo is usually taken

  1. Open the Camera app.
  2. Make sure that your Camera is set to photo mode and that Live Photos is turned on. When it's on, you see the Live Photo button at the top of your Camera.
