I just tried this, and it's so much easier to take regular photos without the Live feature! I often forget to turn it off, and it saves me storage too. Definitely recommend following these steps if you want simpler photos.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Disabling Live Photos does help save storage and can make capturing images more straightforward.
I don't really see the point of turning off Live Photos. They can add a nice touch to some pictures, and storage isn't that big of an issue these days. Anyone else feel this way?
Just a tip: if you ever need to quickly switch back to Live Photos, the icon change is super helpful to remember!
