Pausing a Live Photo allows you to view it as a single still image instead of the brief animated clip. Based on the provided information, you can pause a Live Photo specifically when viewing it within the Google Photos app on an iPhone.
Pausing Live Photos in Google Photos on iPhone
When you are viewing a Live Photo using the Google Photos app on your iPhone, you will find a dedicated control for playback. This control functions as a simple toggle between playing the animation and displaying a static frame.
To pause a Live Photo in this context:
- Open the specific Live Photo you wish to view in the Google Photos app.
- Locate the playback button. According to the reference, this button has two positions: one for play and one for pause.
- Ensure the button is in the pause position. When the button is set to 'pause', you will see only the still photo part of the Live Photo, stopping the video portion from playing repeatedly.
Conversely, when the button is in the 'play' position, the short video segment of the Live Photo will play continuously or loop. Simply switching the button to the 'pause' state is the method described for stopping the animation and viewing the still image.
