How to create motion photos in Pixel phones?

When Google released the Pixel, it also introduced a few exclusive features such as Google Lens and Motion Photos. Google Lens eventually made it to every device. On the other hand, Motion Photos, a feature of Google Photos, remained exclusive to Pixel phones.

Motion Photo is a small video captured before and after taking a still picture. Google Photos app automatically creates this video. You don’t need to do anything except enable the feature.

How to create motion photos 

Step 1: Open the Google camera app on your Pixel phone.

Step 2: Tap the Motion icon in the middle at the top. You will get three options: Motion off, Motion auto, and Motion on. You can choose either Motion on or auto mode.

Choosing the former option will allow the camera app to create Motion Photos every time you click a picture. The second one lets Google decide whether it is necessary to create motion images or not.

Step 3: Click pictures normally using your camera. Once captured, you will be able to see the motion photos in the Google Photos app.

You can stop creating them by tapping the Motion icon and selecting Motion off.
