Live Photos
Live Photos store a short video with every still. Claritas lists all your Live Photos so you can review and remove the ones you don't need.
Every Live Photo stores a short video next to the still image, so it takes more space than a regular photo. Claritas lists all the Live Photos in your library in one place so you can review them and delete the ones you don't need.
How to use Live Photos
- Open the Live Photos card on Home.
- Browse the grid and open any photo full screen.
- Select the ones to remove and tap Delete.
Deleting a Live Photo in Claritas removes the whole item, both the still and its video. To stop new photos from being Live Photos, turn off Live in the Camera app.
