Playing live photos in ios 18 When trying to play certain live photos in the photos app I get the error message: "Unable to Play Live Photo The operation could not be completed" I know that the live portion exists because I was able to download the .mov file from icloud and play it, but it won't play within the app for a subset of photos. Is there something I can do to fix this? Note: all my photos are stored in icloud and I have my photos set for the originals to be downloaded on my phone. iPhone 16 pro on ios 18.0/18.0.1

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 can I stop my iPhone XS from taking Live Photos? How do I permanently turn off live photos because even when I go into camera / preserve settings and turn it off when I open my camera it’s still taking live photos 🤦‍♂️ “Preserve the Live Photo setting, rather than automatically reset to Live Photo turned on.” Meaning? Reset? Thanks. IOS18Fail [Re-Titled by Moderator]
