Apple Shares New Tutorial Videos on Portrait Selfies and Live Photos

by

Apple today shared three new iPhone tutorial videos on its YouTube channel, providing quick walkthroughs on shooting a Portrait mode selfie, editing a Portrait selfie, and creating a Live Photo that uses the "bounce" effect.

The first two videos pertain to the iPhone X, which is the only iPhone that supports Portrait mode selfies thanks to the front-facing TrueDepth camera, while the Live Photos video is applicable to all devices that support Live Photos.

Each video is just over 30 seconds in length and goes through all of the steps necessary to accomplish each task using an actual iPhone screen recording to highlight each action.


Apple has thus far shared several videos in this same tutorial series, offering quick tips on how to use various iPhone and iPad features. Like Apple's other tutorial videos, these new photo tutorials are aimed at people who aren't particularly familiar with the feature set of the iPhone.
