Live Photos can be viewed on other Apple devices including Apple Watch and Macs with OS X El Capitan.
As it turned out, a similar feature is now available in the flagship smartphone Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge. While Samsung has not told about it during a presentation last week. Motion photo is in the camera settings Galaxy S7 next to the settings for video recording, on-and off-grid, features focus tracking, etc. interestingly, the Samsung “live photos” are recorded only until the button is pressed. Default Motion photo is in the off state.
