Live Photos are coming to WhatsApp.

Wabetainfo says the WhatsApp for iOS beta 25.24.10.72 update adds support for Live Photos in chats, groups, and channels, after rolling out similar support for motion photos on Android last month. Users can decide whether to send them as a still image or the original dynamic clip.

Three screenshots showing the Live Photo support rolling out in the WhatsApp beta for iOS version 25.24.10.72.
The Live Photo support is available to some beta testers, and will be rolling out to more users “in the coming weeks,” according to Wabetainfo.
