Live Photo on 5S (enabled?)

My mother-in-law asked me to look at her iPhone because her pictures were moving. I checked it out and it appeared that they were live photos (moved a little when flipping from picture to picture in photo app and would play when you hold it down). Not that weird but she has a 5S; not a 6S or newer. I checked her camera app (stock apple app) and the live photo button is there and you can take live photos.

Any other 5S's have the live photo enabled or is it just her? Kinda of a weird but good problem (I guess).

FYI - it's not jailbroken or anything. This just started after she upgraded to 10.2

iPhone 5s, iOS 10.2

My Fiance also has the iphone 5s and he has live photos. Kind of cruddy that he paid about $150 recently on Boost Mobile and I have the 6, which was brand new when I got it, and have no live photos.

I believe you are, in some way, mistaken. The iPhone 5S doesn't support LivePhotos. It isn't even sold by Apple any more. I suspect he has an SE, which looks very much like the 5S.

That's it. Didn't realize that a) it was a SE and b) the SE had live photo...

Thanks

They look a lot the same. Glad it helped.

Guess you don't have to worry about that.
