Did you know it's possible to take multiple Live Photos from your iPhone's photo library and turn them into a single continuous video? Keep reading to learn how it's done.
On iPhone and iPad, Live Photos bring your pictures to life by adding a few seconds of video before and after the shot, creating a living memory rather than a static image.
While Live Photos are great on their own, it's also possible to weave several together to create a video montage. This process transforms a collection of moments into a cohesive narrative, and offers an easier way to share and relive your memories.
Whether it's a series of shots from a special event, a day out with friends, or a compilation of everyday moments, the following steps show you how to turn several Live Photos into a video that can encapsulate their essence in a way that a single photo or traditional video might not.
- In the Photos app, tap the Collections icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Scroll down to "Media Types," and tap Live Photos.
- Tap Select in the top-right corner, then tap the Live Photos you want to include in your video so that a little checkmark appears on each one.
- Tap the button with three dots in the top-right corner.
- Choose Save as Video in the pop-up menu.
That's all there is to it. To watch your newly created video, return to the Library view or find it in the Videos category under Media Types.
Note that the video will be dated to when the Live Photos were originally taken, so unless you have the Sort by Recently Added option checked, they may not show as the latest video in your collection.

Seriously, why they haven’t included even basic iMovie-like editing directly in Photos is beyond. I mean, yeah, here is this master collection of billions of photos and movies
I captured. Sitting there. Doing nothing. Why not give us tools to do something with these assets, to create - you know, like you used to. We can still have iMovie. But adding basic editing features directly in Photos isn’t the worst idea.
But yes, more editing would be great!
