Spent over half an hour with Apple advisor on chat and went through several trouble shooting steps only to be told in the end: "I was looking for other troubleshooting steps or updates on this issue, however it seems like our engineering team is still working on it and it’s currently under investigation. If after these troubleshooting steps we performed, the issue persists, we’ll need to wait for an update to solve this problem."


Apparently there is no estimated date for when the issue will be resolved. We just have to wait until they push an update that fixes the problem :\

Hello Ronitzhaki,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that you would like to know where the FaceTime Live Photos are stored on your iPhone. After taking the Live Photo while on a FaceTime the photos is then stored in your Camara Roll or iCloud Music Library. The iPhone User Guide has some additional information you may find helpful:

Make and answer calls with FaceTime - iPhone User Guide

Take a FaceTime Live Photo. To save a moment of your call, tap User uploaded file (make sure FaceTime Live Photos is turned on in Settings > FaceTime). The camera captures what happens just before and after you take the photo, including the audio, so you can see and hear it later just the way it happened. The photo is added to the Camera Roll album or, if you use iCloud Photo Library, in the All Photos album in the Photos app. See Take photos.

Best Regards.

Hi Ronitzhaki,

Are you able to save any photos or is it only the Live Photos from FaceTime you cannot save? I recommend checking your storage to make sure there is enough space to save future photos. The following article will provide you with the steps on how to check your storage and offer recommendations on how to free up space:

How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Use your iOS device to check its storage

Go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage. You might see a list of recommendations for optimizing your device's storage, followed by a list of installed apps and the amount of storage each one uses. Tap an app's name for more information about its storage. Cached data and temporary data might not be counted as usage.

Regards.
