## Declaration

## Discussion

Discussion A Live Photo is a picture, taken with a compatible device, that includes movement and sound from the moments just before and after its capture. A PHLivePhoto object represents the displayable combination of image, motion, and sound data. You can obtain such objects from the Photos library using the PHImageManager class or construct them from asset resources exported from a Photos library using the PHLivePhoto class. Use this method to export the underlying resources that constitute a Live Photo. For example, a social networking app can retrieve those data files and upload them to a server. Then, on another user’s device, the app downloads those data files and uses the PHLivePhoto class to re-create a Live Photo object for display using the PHLivePhotoView class.
