Q: make album of live photos

anyone know if it is possible? I tried to sync multiple live photos but it seems to only pull the live photo then if you tap it would go through the rest, but they are static. Not sure if there is support for this yet?

Apple Watch, iOS 9.3.1

    Hi

     

    To view a Live Photo (which shows the Live Photo badge in the lower-right corner) on Apple Watch, open the Photos app, then touch and hold the photo.

     

    Live Photos need to be synced from an album on your iPhone, but not from My Photo Stream, which does not work with video.

     

    If your Live Photos have not synced fully to your watch, try these steps:

     

    • Check that you have selected a photo album that includes Live Photos:
      • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Photos > Synced Album > choose an album that contains Live Photos (but not My Photo Stream).

     

    • Check that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your iPhone:
      • Settings > Bluetooth;
      • Settings > Wi-Fi.

     

    • Check that your watch is connected to your iPhone:
      • When viewing the time, swipe up on the watch face, then swipe left/right to the Settings glance.
      • Check that your watch states Connected and shows a picture of a green phone as the status icon.
      • Disable Airplane Mode if it is active (tap on the Airplane Mode button to toggle on / off).
      • Swipe down again to exit Glances.

     

    • Restart both your iPhone and your watch. Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first:
      • To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off.
      • To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.

     

    • Allow a reasonable length of time for your photo album to sync before checking again.
