How to Manage and Edit Live Photos in Different Ways

Since the Live Photo feature was added to iPhone and Android camera app, taking photos has become even cooler than before. You only need to make a 3D touch on these created Live Photos; the captured moments and the accompanying sounds will play simultaneously. Now, what's more interesting is that you can freely edit Live photos to make them look better, such as making a new key photo, adding Live Photo effect, disabling Live Photo sound, extracting desired frames, etc. Let's do it together by referring to following guide here.
