This will preserve all current settings for your camera, not just your Live Photo preferences.
Since this option preserves your settings, it works both ways—if you decide to turn Live Photo back on in the Camera app, it’ll keep Live Photo on until you disable it.
You’ll see a timeline of stills as the bottom of the screen. The current key photo is surrounded by a white square in the timeline. To choose a different key photo, tap and drag the white outline left or right until you’ve found the best photo. Tap Make Key Photo to select the still you’d like to use.
If you change your mind, you can always change the photo back to a Live Photo. Just re-open the photo and tap the crossed-out “LIVE” button at its top-left corner.
