In the Android world, Samsung and Google support eachothers live picture format. As far as I can tell for Google they embed video in the picture, Samsung has their own format for this.
Im on an older version of android and the live photos dont have the snappiness of Apple's, but that could be a processor power issue or even stylistic choice. Particularly the length of the live photo is noticeably different.
Im not sure how Apple stores the live picture info, but having it crossplatform would be fantastic for services like these.
This pernicious feature is adored in my family and they won’t consider options that would take it away.
