Just a quick tip that people may not know about (I haven't seen it mentioned here). It is possible to kill a live photo and making it into a normal photo by going into edit and pressing the live photo symbol that appears. Not a big thing but mean i might keep the feature on knowing I can go back and save some space if the photo turns out to be rubbish!
Got a tip for us?

This is actually great. I was thinking this should be possible before he phone launched and didn't actually think of trying. Thank you!
I noticed that however you can always revert it back to the original and turn Live Photos back on so I would assume it doesn't free up any space.
It is handy however when you want to send the photo with it turned off.

If you're looking to permanently kill the photo to free up the space and are using Photos on a Mac, I've posted a workflow here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-to-turn-live-photos-into-normal-ones.1924870/
