One of the coolest features of the iPhone is Live Photos, which allows you to capture up to 1.5 seconds of video and audio just before you snap a photo.
It's a fun tool that allows you to look at exactly what you were doing moments before a specific moment was captured.
However, as unique as this feature is, some people find it distracting when they're swiping through their photo albums. Or the Live Photo function was on by default without you even realizing it, and you would rather keep it off.
That's why the iOS16 update introduced by Apple makes it super simple to switch the feature off if you wish to.
