How can I keep the live photo performing without pressing it?

I remember when I was in the Apple store, saw their iphone 6s have the live photo on lock screen constantly moving, I'd want to have that look on my phone as well. But I have to press it every time to make the live photo move, it's kind of annoying. I've also noticed that a dynamic photo will fulfill my request, the question is, whether they use a dynamic swimming beta or do I have to change something in the setting to make it look like that?

Thanks a lot guys.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.0.2

Okay...thank you for your reply. I'm just really wondering how they made it appeared to be like that in the Apple store, I believe it wasn't my hallucination...Maybe I should stick w/ dynamic photos.&&Wish they have loaded dynamic swimming Beta in our phone.

.......

Wait, is there a way to turn a live photo into dynamic photo?

I notice that if you go to Settings > Wallpaper > Choose A New Wallpaper > Live and continue to hold one of the wallpapers, it continues to move.

No, you cannot change a live photo. It has only a few seconds recorded before and after the shutter is pressed.

Okay that's a bad news for me 😟

And I don't know how you kept it moving by keep pressing it, cuz what I have in here is after it finished its performance it just stopped, but if I slightly release the pressure on my finger the image will start flowing backwards, though, still not having it constantly flowing.

But anyway, thanks, I guess I just have to find a dynamic photo for my lock screen.

There is currently no way to keep the live photo moving.

You're right ... I didn't really keep it moving by continuing to press it. I think the animation proceeded slightly longer (perhaps 3 seconds) than the live photos I have taken.
