Well, the option to save Live Photos as videos isn’t visible when you apply Live Photo effects (Loop, Bounce, or Long Exposure) to a certain Live Photo. Is the ‘Save as Video’ option still not showing up for you in iOS 16? You can now see the exported video alongside the Live Photo in its original location. TIP: To quickly find the converted video, long-press the particular Live Photo while it appears in a grid view in Photos. The saved video is exported in either HEVC or H.264 and includes the audio (which can be turned off).



Save as Video option missing in iOS 16Īlthough, the Photos app (in iOS 13 or later) includes a one-click option to convert a Live Photo to a video. Hence, if you want to post them on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook or add a Live Photo to a video during editing then you first need to convert it to a video. The reason is, a Live Photo is sent as a still image when you share it over email or on social media platforms (excluding WhatsApp). Since Live Photos are exclusive to iPhone and iPad, non-iOS users cannot view them. One can add effects to a Live Photo and even share Live Photos on Messenger after converting them into a video. Live Photo is a native feature of the iPhone camera that captures both movement and sound to revive the moment. Live Photos on iOS adds life to a traditional photo by capturing a 3-second short video instead of a still image.
