Live Photo with loop/bounce hit : "This item cannot be shared" for WhatsApp after iOS 15 upgrade

Hi, I've never had any issue to send nice motion-gif like photos from iPhone live photo set with loop or bounce until yesterday upgrade from 14.8 to iOS 15. The error box : "This item cannot be shared. Please select a different item".


I've so far no problem send/share other photos thru WhatsApp.


Is there any setting or patch to this? Thank you.

This issue of sharing Live Photos in loop and bounce modes needs to be corrected by Apple. Instead of improving our experience Apple with its IOS upgrade has made it worse.

I’m having this issue also and it’s really annoying. What carina suggests works to send a Live Photo but the loop/bounce gives a better result than the original live pic and it seems you are unable to send these. Additionally I don’t like that the update has ditched the loop/bounce preview on swipe up of the photo. This is a feature a use a lot which has now become very long winded.
