1. Open the Photos App
Go to the Photos app on your iphone and locate the Live Photo you want to share. Live Photos capture a few seconds of motion and sound.
2. Convert Live Photo to Video or Boomerang
Instagram doesn’t directly support Live Photos, so you need to convert it:
- Option 1: Using Instagram’s Boomerang feature
Open instagram and tap + to create a new post.
Swipe up to access your gallery.
Select the Live Photo, then tap Boomerang (Instagram will convert it into a looping video).
- Option 2: Using iOS Photos App
Open the Live Photo.
Tap Share → Save as Video.
This converts your Live Photo into a short video ready for Instagram.
3. Upload to Instagram
- Open instagram and tap + → Post.
- Select the converted video or Boomerang from your gallery.
- Add filters, captions, tags, or location if desired.
- Tap Share to post it to your feed.
4. Optional: Use instagram Stories
You can also upload Live Photos to Instagram Stories:
Open instagram Stories.
Swipe up to select the Live Photo.
If needed, convert it to a Boomerang using the Boomerang icon.
Post it to your Story with stickers, text, or effects.
