Live Photos gets smarter

The Live Photos feature introduced on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus initially recorded video either side of the still photo even if you were raising or lowering your phone. That could potentially ruin some otherwise nice shots. Rather than giving you the option to manually trim unwanted bits, iOS 9.1 analyses data from your phone’s sensors to determine movement that you’re unlikely to want to see and will excise those frames, making your Live Photos something you want to watch from start to finish. Say goodbye to seeing your feet on an otherwise attractive Lock screen.
