Back in previous iOS (iOS 11 until iOS 14), you can use these Live Photo effects just by swiping up your Live Photo inside Photos app. But unfortunately, starting with iOS 15, Apple changed the way you can use these Live Photo effects. If you are on iOS 15 and swiping up your Live Photo inside Photos app, what you get is the metadata of the photo instead, such as the camera used to take the photo and the location and time where and when the photo is taken. So how to access Live Photo effects: Loop, Bounce and Long Exposure? Here’s how you can access them.
Here’s how to use Live Photo effects on iOS 15 and turn your Live Photo into Loop, Bounce or Long Exposure photo
1) On your iPhone, open Photos app.
2) Select one of the Live photo you would like to add effect.
3) Instead of swiping up (this was the practice back in iOS 14 or before), tap on the “LIVE” icon located on the top right of the Live photo.
4) You should be able to see the choices between: Live, Loop, Bounce and Long Exposure. Select the effect you would like to apply to your Live photo.
Voila! You just managed to add effect to your Live photo, be it loop, bounce or long exposure. Repeat the steps for other Live photos.
Bring it all together
For better or worse, love or hate it, that’s how now you can apply Live Photo effects in iOS 15. The most important thing is that Apple didn’t remove the Live Photo feature, Apple just moved the way you access it somewhere else.
