Dear Apple Support,
I’ve noticed an issue with the Messages app on iOS 18. When I try to send Live Photos, I select the Live Photo icon, but the photo is sent as a still image instead. Despite following the correct steps, the Live Photo feature doesn’t seem to be working properly.
I would appreciate it if your team could look into this and resolve the issue in an upcoming update.
Thank you for your support and continued innovation!
Best regards,
Erfan Nateghie
Live Photos will only send as MMS (blue bubble messages), is this happening the sharing a iMessage payload?
I'm facing the same issue. Sending any LIVE photo via iMessage to my wife is not going through. Both on iOS 18, been sending photos back and forth for years without problem. Saved a LIVE as a 3 second Video and tried sending that and it also fails. Blue bar goes across the screen to about 90% and hangs.
I am having the same issue as well.
