Hello everyone,
please tell me if there is any way so that when i plugin my ssd to iphone. I should be able to view live photos , photos and videos directly into the photos app. I request Apple to give an update so i can move live photos directly to my ssd and whenever i plug in ssd , the ssd name should be visible in photos app and must be able to see the live photos as in iphone.
iPhone 13, iOS 26
Live Photos is a special thing that works in Photos. When a Live Photo leaves the Photos system, then it's not a Live Photo anymore-- it becomes a single image plus a movie. If it is re-imported to Photos, then it can behave as a Live Photo again. Live Photos also display Live when transferred to Photos on a Mac or an iPad.
Photos is not a general picture viewer. Photos is an image manager. Photos does not show pictures that are not in Photos' own Library. And, on a phone, that Library has to be internal.
The Files app will display pictures from an external drive but, since Files is not Photos, it can't display Live Photos.
