To have each photo include a tiny sprinkle of live context is invaluable, in my opinion.

Other I'm no less amazed about Live Photos today, than I was the moment I tried it myself for the first time.

I turn it off instantly and the only time I get a Live Photo is from older folks who don’t know what it is because Apple has it on by default for some reason.
I took a photo of my 10-month-old niece while I was holidaying with my family, the live photo shows her knocking her water bottle off a table, onto my foot and me saying "Ow!" very loudly. I laughed when I realised that had been captured.
Live photos are great. I've captured many fun moments in them that the regular photo would have missed.
I’ve always said that Live Photos are one of my favorite features of all time!
Like others have said, I have some amazing moments captured thanks to Live Photos that would have been lost otherwise.
I thought the file format would have quickly become a standard that is supported by a wide variety of apps. As an easy example, I can’t post a Live Photo to this forum.
What do all of you use to backup your Live Photos?
For me, who is somewhat obsessive about backups, I use iCloud, Time Machine, OneDrive and Amazon Photos. Are there other services/apps that keep the Live Photo intact?

I am not big on the feature and have it disabled most of the time. I prefer shooting non hybrid formats, either video or photo.
