The enhancement is one of the actions Xiaomi is taking to create a comprehensive ecosystem that will provide a more seamless experience across devices. For optimal compatibility, users who are interested in the functionality should update their smartphones to the most recent versions of Xiaomi Photo Album and Xiaomi Share.Xiaomi HyperOS is always evolving, providing consumers with fresh and creative features to enhance their convenience.

LivePhoto Cross-Ecosystem Support Details

Sharing dynamic pics in the LivePhoto format while maintaining their motion effects is now possible with Xiaomi HyperOS 2. Users can now share and enjoy LivePhotos on both Xiaomi and Apple devices with ease thanks to the latest update, which was revealed in the official Q&A (Episode 8) for Xiaomi HyperOS on March 7.
