Live photos on Instagram refer to a feature that allows users to share photos that have been captured using the “Live Photo” mode on their iPhone. When a Live Photo is posted on Instagram, it appears as a still image, but when users press and hold the photo, it comes to life and plays a short video clip of the moments before and after the photo was taken.
To share a Live Photo on Instagram, users simply need to upload it as they would any other photo from their camera roll. However, keep in mind that this feature is currently only available on iPhone devices with iOS 9.0 or later. As Apple introduced this feature in September 2016 when the company launched the iPhone 6s series.

- Select the photo you want to turn into a Live Photo.
- Swipe up on the photo to reveal the photo options.
- Tap the “Live” option to turn the photo into a Live Photo.
- Press and hold the photo to see it come to life with motion and sound.
- Note: Live Photos are only available on iPhone 6s or later, and you need to have the “Live Photo” option enabled in your camera settings.
To post a live photo from your iPhone on Instagram, follow these steps:
