How do I stop my photos from being motion photos?

Published in Mobile Photography 2 mins read

To stop your photos from being motion photos on your Android device, you need to disable the motion photo setting in your camera app. Here's how:

Steps to Disable Motion Photos

  1. Open Your Camera App: Begin by launching the camera application on your Android phone.

  2. Go to Settings: Look for a settings icon within the camera app. This is usually represented by a gear or cogwheel icon. Tap on it to access the camera settings. The location of this icon may vary slightly depending on your phone's manufacturer and the specific camera app you are using.

  3. Find the Motion Photo Option: Within the settings menu, look for an option related to "Motion Photo," "Live Photo," or something similar. The exact name may vary. You might find it in a general settings area or under an "Advanced" or "Photo" section.

  4. Turn It Off: Once you've located the motion photo option, toggle it off or disable it. There may be a simple on/off switch or a dropdown menu where you can select "Off."

  5. Save Your Settings (If Necessary): Some camera apps automatically save changes, while others may require you to tap a "Save" or "Apply" button to confirm your new settings.

  6. Check if It Worked: Take a test photo to confirm that motion photos are no longer being captured. Check the photo's details (e.g., by tapping the "i" icon, or selecting "Details" in the gallery app) to make sure it is a static image and does not have a video component.

By following these steps, you can prevent your Android camera from capturing motion photos and ensure that all photos are saved as static images.
