Yes, Live Photo could be a fun app to use as a choice instead of a default.
As commented earlier, you can go to settings < photos camera < preserve settings < switch the live photo setting on. When you turn live photo off that setting will be saved instead of going back to default Live Photos on the next time you open the camera.
Yes.
for some odd reason, Apple chose it as the default. Sorta like forcing you to take a slow mo as default, instead of giving you the choice.
It's easy to turn off, but next time you want to take a pic, there it is, and, if you have to delay your shot while you turn it off, you're screwed.
It's an APP not an operating system.
AND they put major screws on you by obscuring the possible out by hiding it under layers of settings with an absurd mockery of a confusing description. This makes Apple sound undependable

"Preserve the Live Photo Setting, rather than automatically reset to Live Photo turned on"
There needs to be a "DISABLE Live Photo" button. Or, this sort of cute photo trick (like bubble or photo distortions) should be an app added by choice.
When I tap to turn live photos off in the camera app, it stays off until I tap on again. I don't see that "preserve setting" in my settings > photos and camera.
It's not a default. It's an option you can choose or not. If you don't want to use it, turn it off.

Actually it is a default. I’ve tried turning it off and it keeps resetting to Live Photo. Even with the Preserve settings turned ON. VERY ANNOYING
Thank you!
Ok I’ll bite, what is Live Photo’s ?
It's in settings. Just go to Settings > Photos & Camera > Preserve Settings, and switch Live Photos to ON. This will preserve whatever you had Live Photos set to the last time you used the Camera app rather than returning to the default setting.
Except thats not PERMANENT. Even with thoae settings, Live will randomly turn back on. Mine just did. Worse, it has actually turned itself on and posted videos I did not know were being taken. Wa-ay too sensitive there on the touch screen! The question is how to make this bug - er, I mean feature - no, sod it, I do mean bug - go away forever, never to be turned on again?
