Why does Live Photo setting keep resetting on iPhone?

When I go into my settings, go to camera, go to preserve settings, and keep toggled on Live Photo, it does not keep my live photos turned off. I am on software 18.3.2

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]

How do I disable auto Live Photos setting on iPhone 12 camera? Every time I take a pic the LIVE is set to on and it will not go off unless I do it manually every time. I do not have it enabled in camera settings yet every time I take a pic, it’s on. How can I make this stop? It’s extremely annoying.

iphone 13 can’t turn off live photo On my iPhone 13. No matter what I do my camera keeps taking live pictures. Preserve settings does not work, it did for a short time but then live turned back on by default every time, ignoring the preserve settings. thats been the case for a while, since then, nothing changed, no setting, no update or anything, but for no apparent reason it seems to have gotten worse because even if I turn off Live Photo in the camera, it still takes a Live Photo. Its just ignoring the setting altogether and always taking a live pic. I really want this to stop. It’s annoying to be ignoring settings.

To fix that, go to settings, camera, preserve settings, and then go down and turn on "Live Photo". After this live photo will be set on the last status it had when you closed the app.
