I thought I had disabled it. I went through the steps suggested. Camera setting, go to ‘live photo’ option and turn on, open camera and tap the little logo in the upper right to turn off ‘live’ setting. It worked. But just now I took a picture and it was back to ‘live’ setting. Maybe the latest update reset to the other settings? Anyone else hate this feature and wish it was gone?
I too am not a “fan” of it.
While it indeed has applications for which I DO employ it, I don’t want it as my “default” mode.
Go to Settings -> Camera -> Preserve Settings -> Live Photo.
Somewhat counter-intuitively, turn the switch “on.”
This will “maintain” your last-used setting rather than automatically reverting back to “live.”

Check the setting, and see if it’s been re-enabled by an update, or got tapped while taking a photo.

It's so you can see the moment before you take the picture, for example someone jumping into a pool and you take a picture too slowly, it'll have a little bit of time to go back and save the image you want. Sort of like a short video to save a clip of.
Thank you for that helpful tip!
Does the “live” feature for taking photos have any useful purpose? I hate it!
