Live Photos have been around for what feels like forever now (at least long enough to not really get talked about anymore), and one of the largest social networks out there is finally adding support!

How to export Live Photos as standalone videos
You've been able to save a single Live Photo as a still image on your iPhone for quite some time. But did you know you can just as easily make a short video from a Live Photo and even stitch together multiple Live Photos to create a single mini-video of your memories!
Coming soon to Twitter: Live Photos, following topics, DM search & more (still no Edit button)
Twitter is testing several new features that will be coming soon to its mobile app for iOS and Android, including support for uploading Live Photos, the ability to follow specific interests in the same way you follow accounts, a way to temporarily snooze notifications and more.
This jailbreak tweak makes Live Photo-based wallpaper playback entirely automatic
One of the things I like about having an iOS device is that I can set a Live Photo as my wallpaper if I wanted to. On the other hand, animating that Live Photo generally requires some kind of user interaction from the Lock screen, and this tends to make the experience less exciting overall.
A newly-released jailbreak tweak called AutoDynamicWallpaper(A12 Support) by iOS developer anima gets you around this silly bottleneck by forcing any Live Photo-centric wallpapers you might have to play automatically as the device wakes. With that in mind, you won’t need to interact with your Live Photo-based wallpaper in any way to enjoy its liveliness.
This tweak automatically toggles iOS’ Live Photos mode in the proper circumstances
Love it or hate it, Live Photos is one of the unique features that comes bundled into iOS’ photo-taking experience. All devices come with Live Photos enabled by default, and users can opt to disable it any time afterward, but wouldn’t it be nice if iOS toggled it automatically depending on the circumstances?
If you’re in agreeance with the aforementioned notion, then you might take a liking to a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called AutoLivePhotos by iOS developer Ben Giannis. This tweak attempts to toggle iOS’ Live Photos mode on or off automatically, depending on the photograph’s subject.
This tweak plays a Live Photo of your choice when someone calls you
iOS’ native incoming call interface can be somewhat bland at first glance, and that’s precisely why iOS developer Anima has released a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Incoming Call LivePhoto (A12 Support).
Just as the name implies, Incoming Call LivePhoto replaces the bland incoming call background with a Live Photo of your choosing, ensuring that you always have something cool to look at when your iPhone starts ringing.
This tweak enables all Live Photos-centric features on unsupported handsets
Live Photos is one of iOS’ fun and quirky proprietary features that brings many of your photographs and wallpaper backgrounds to life. Unfortunately, Apple limits Live Photos functionality on many of its older handsets, such as the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and SE, to name a few.
If you use any of the aforementioned handsets and you’re bummed about having a gimped Live Photos experience, then you might want to turn your attention to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called LivePhotoForNon3DTouch by iOS developer anima.
