Is there the equivalent of Live Photos on the new Samsung Galaxy S8?

[Michael Goff]

Just thought your repeated use of Jank on pages 1-2 was funny

Ah, okay. It is kind of a funny word now that I think about it.

I do t know what you mean "surround themselves..." sounds pejorative. I don't surround myself with any phone user. It just so happens with a few exceptions, my extended family about 50, friends, business associates and clients all have iPhones.

If you're thinking I'm insulting you, I don't know what to say.

What I meant was simple: If most of the people around you have iPhones you're good and if you even have a few Android using friends they get screwed because you want to use a proprietary thing they can't see as well as your iPhone using friends.

Just got these results.

The "new music" search was me saying resume music. I'm impressed it got better but not there yet. When it did understand me it did resume the song playing.

lol.... Did you read what I wrote? Apparently not since that is not Google Assistant. Nice try though.

Well that kind of talk is definitely out of place for you but the way it read made me wonder.

As far as my android family members (all three of them)they get to see a plain old picture without the moving bits.

You explained it nicely

Exactly. They get an inferior experience. I'm not saying "don't use Live Photos", just realize it's not as easily shared and some might find that to make it inferior to something that can be easily shared.

This is getting ABSURD!

You've got people on here complaining how you can't share Live Photos with many people out there.

Hey guess what?

YOU CANT TAKE LIVE PHOTOS ON YOUR SAMSUNG TO BEGIN WITH!!!

You're right. You can take superior Motion Photos and share them with people.

 

[BigMcGuire]

Google Photos allows you to save live photos as a movie and send that out --- or you can download the standalone Google : Motion Stills app that will do the same thing but with more options.

lol google doesn't know how to upkeep one service and abandons users. Apparently there are more than one way to access their "AI". The questions are up, why not ask Goog Assistant and show me. Nice try though.
[doublepost=1494957960][/doublepost]

No, they just have Google Assistant now. How did you access those questions? Long press the home button? And recently?

Yea. Have an android phone for my android development. Updated everything and searched for Google Assistant. That's what I got from long pressing and Ok Google. Clearly it didn't understand me when I said "Resume" either way so obviously it's not perfect like so many people like to believe.

I don't think anyone is saying it's perfect,just better than Siri.

Just make sure to keep the volume up so you can hear....


Oh wait.

Nevermind.
