Turn Off Live Photo

Is there any way to permanently disable Live Photos? IPhone 12, ios 15.3.1.

I have it shut off at Camera>Preserve Settings, but it is still on.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Turn it ON in Settings, Camera, Preserve settings.

Then turn it OFF in the camera itself.

Then the phone will preserve your live photo settings in the camera.

disable Live Photo permanently I followed the settings then camera and take off Live Photo from preserve settings. And yet still the Live Photos comes back on while taking pictures on my iPhone pro 11. I find this feature very annoying and it’s not needed. Not every single photos taken, it has to be live. I cannot understand why apple adding on unnecessary feature. can anyone advise why isn’t the Live Photos option kept on coming back even though I turn it off under the preserve settings? Please any advice so I can take this annoying feature off. ‘thanks. ~ Christina

Live photos always enabled despite having it disabled in settings Hi all. Whenever I take a photo with my iPhone, the Live Photos feature seems to be always enabled, even though I've disabled it in my Camera settings. This is causing my phone to take up unnecessary storage space with the Live Photos I don't intend to use. Device: iPhone 14 Pro iOS Version: 16.4.1 Steps I've tried: Disabling Live Photos in the Camera settings (Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings > Live Photo > Off) Restarting my iPhone. Resetting all settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings) Updating to the latest iOS version. Unfortunately, none of the above solutions have resolved my issue. The Live Photos feature remains active regardless of my attempts to disable it. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

How do I permanently disable live photos? I don't ever, ever, ever want to take a Live Photo. How do I permanently disable the feature so I never accidentally ruin a shot again. (I know I can pull a low-resolution frame from the video, but that defeats the purpose of having a high-quality camera that can capture raw data.)
