How to change the 'Key Photo' for a Live photo on the iPhone or iPad

Picture
If you have an iPhone 6S or newer, you have a wonderful feature in the Camera App - the ability to take 'Live' photos.

A 'Live' photo is actually a short video, and one of the 'frames' from that video is automatically chosen as the 'Key Photo' that is shown when you view the photo. Touching and holding on the Photo in the Photos app will play the short video.
Sometimes, you will find that the photo that is chosen as the 'key photo' is not necessarily the best. The great news is that you get to change which photo is used as the 'key photo'. This is achieved through the Edit option of Photos.

We look how to do this in this week's members-only Handy Hint for iPad/iPhone users. Members of the iTandCoffee Club can view this tip by selecting the below button.  Not yet a member? Why not join today for great tips like this.
