UPGRADE your iPhone camera game today with a clever (and little-known) video trick.
You might have dozens of videos that you’ve never “seen” lurking in your photos app.

It’s linked to Live Photos, which is an Apple feature that records footage either side of a photo to animate it.
You’ve probably seen them before: you can tap on a Live Photo to play back the short animation.
And you can set them as your iPhone Lock Screen too.
But TikTok star @kelly.fiance has revealed a hidden Live Photos video iPhone trick that you may never have known.
If you have a series of Live Photos taken in a row, you can actually sync them all up into one long video.
The iPhone can stitch these Live Photo images together.
This means you can create long videos that you’ve never seen before.
And it’s all thanks to taking photos – rather than shooting a clip.

So if you’ve ever regretted not filming an important moment, you might find you already have a video just waiting to be made.
The genius trick has already racked up over 8,000 likes on TikTok.
All you need to do is select all of the images that you want to chain.
Then go into the edit settings and click Save As Video.
This will convert all of the Live Photos into a single clip.
Sadly, the catch is that you need to have taken Live Photos and not just regular snaps.
Here’s how to make sure you’re doing that.
How to take a Live Photo
Open your Camera app.
Then make sure you’re using Photo Mode.
In the top-right you’ll see a Live Photos button, which is concentric circles.
Tap it to make sure that Live Photo mode is active.
Then simply take a photo.
Live Photos is usually turned on by default, but may sometimes be deactivated.
