Part 1: Convert live photo to Loop or Bounce video

You can turn live photo into video directly in your Photos app without the help of any third-party tool. Though live photos are the features in iOS 10, the built-in Loop and Bounce effects in the iOS Photos app are since iOS 11. The Loop effect makes a live photo play over and over, and the Bounce effect makes a live photo play forward and backward. Both the effects create a continuous video for you. You can check the detailed steps below.

Step 1Go to Photos app and select the live photo you want to make to a video.

Step 2Swipe up, you will see the Effects option like below.
