Live Photos creep me out. They're like something out of Stephen King.

Anybody else feel this way?

1. Please explain "live photos"

versus "dead photos?"

2. They're like a GIF that lasts about one second,

with just enough movement to make it creepy.

8. Thanks

I'm a flip phone old lady so I had no idea!

5. My iPhone does it unless I turn it off - you can select or disable it

in the camera function. It makes the photo move slightly by capturing a split second during the exposure. It's weird AF if you aren't expecting it.

3. No I really like them . Perfect seconds glimpse behind the still photos

For instance I just took one of a family member blowing birthday candles and it captures the moment well. Happy to have the option . It can be turned off too

4. I don't usually mind them that much

but now that you mention it! Yes, a little creepy.
I keep thinking I have to figure out how to turn it off so it's not default.

6. I like it, it's like a micro-video instead of a flat picture

Gives a little realism and context, IMO. But it was a little surprising at first, I had to do a double take: Did that picture move? Yup!

10. There's the scene where Rachel

is demonstrating her humanity by describing memories and showing a picture.

11. Oh yeah!

I’d completely forgotten that.

I love them and I wish digital photo frames could display them.
