Sound on live photos suddenly stopped working?

Today, When I play a live photo, the sound won’t play. I’ve checked the sound on top left corner and it works with any other old video or music. The motion will go for the live picture but I can’t hear any sound. Is something changed?

Hello AbdulRaheem440,


Thanks for getting back to us with those additional details. We understand that downloaded Live Photos from TikTok stopped playing sound on your iPhone, and we'd be happy to get you pointed in the right direction to get some help.


In this specific situation, we'd recommend reaching out to the TikTok app developer for assistance with their app. You can reach out to them by following the steps in the following link:

Hi Brian,


No the video is not on mute, i checked it on top let corner. It’s unmute and there’s no filter to the photo.


important thing to noitce: this is not a live photo i took from my iphone camera. I downloaded this live photo from tiktok. And then I click on edit and save as a video to convert live photo into video. Since 3 years for now, It worked all the all time with no issues. Yesterday, all of a sudden when i do the same process I stopped seeing the voice for the live photo download from tiktok.
