Greetings!

From the Camera app, tap the Live Photos button to turn off Live Photos. A slash through the Live Photos button means that the feature is off.

The Camera app turns Live Photos on again automatically. To keep Live Photos off permanently, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Camera > Preserve Settings.
  3. Make sure that the switch next to Live Photo is turned on.
