To post a live photo on Instagram, make sure that you have the latest version of the app. Then open the photo on Instagram and tap the “Live” button at the bottom. If your live photo is over 3 seconds long, Instagram will give you the option to trim it down to 3 seconds. Once you’re happy with it, tap “Share.” Your friends will watch your live photo while it’s streaming, and they can also leave comments.
