Motion Stills – Now on Android

I'm confused. Does this imply that photos within this app can be taken similar to 'live photos' - where a single tap records both a full-res still pic AND a video? Or is this app just for recording stabilized / loopable videos?

I recently switched to iOS after using Android for years and live photos are a huge draw for me. I don't care if they're stabilized or loopable, I just love the context they add in (audio, movement) while also having a still photo.

I've got an Android phone and unfortunately no, it's just video, there's no still.

I sorely miss the real Live Photos I had on iOS for the same reasons as you. There are camera apps on Android that do it (like Camera MX) but the UX isn't really comparable and you can't use Motion Stills on stuff taken outside the app.
