Losing a loved one is always challenging, but one individual with a knack for technology has uncovered a heartwarming method to honor their deceased family members.
On a US forum, an unidentified user shared their revelation about Apple’s live photo feature, which allowed them to listen to the voices of their late parents through pictures.
Expressing their sentiments, they stated: ‘Last year, I lost both of my parents, and one thing that I dearly missed was the sound of their voices’.
Upon this revelation, other forum members swiftly joined the conversation, sharing their own encounters with this hidden function.
The user commenced their post by reflecting: ‘I have an abundance of pictures, but no videos. It never occurred to me how much I yearned for a simple, silly video capturing their voices.
‘This particular aspect troubled me significantly. I simply desired to recollect their voices. I never want to forget them.
‘Thus, I sifted through my Live Photos recently and stumbled upon their voices in the most unexpected images, like a random cat photo, a cake snapshot, or even a picture of a router password from a past visit’.
They described these photos as profoundly meaningful since their parents’ voices were subtly preserved in the background, even though the parents themselves were not visible in the pictures.
‘The significance that a photo of a router now holds for me is beyond my expectations. To the creators at Apple responsible for this feature, I express my heartfelt gratitude’.
The user further expressed: ‘This discovery has genuinely transformed my life for the better, and words cannot capture its immense significance to me’.
Concluding their post, they declared: ‘I now proudly consider myself an Apple enthusiast, as I cannot envision owning any other phone. This feature holds immeasurable value for me’.
Fellow Redditors were swift to share their poignant stories in response.
One individual remarked: ‘I never truly grasped its importance until I stumbled upon old photos with loved ones and played the live feature: those brief seconds capturing small remarks, light-hearted jokes, and laughter are forever preserved!’
‘Viewing a picture is one thing, but the additional context provided by the live feature transports my mind back to that moment, making the memory even more vivid. That’s why I always ensure it’s activated now’.
Another contributor added: ‘This feature is incredibly underrated, concealing numerous delightful “wow” moments within the images you have already taken’.
Lastly, a commenter thanked the original poster for sharing this insight: ‘Oh, what a revelation! I had never considered this before. My condolences for your losses.
‘Thank you for this gem! I’m now eager to search for my mom’s voice, unheard for a year and a half, within my own collection’.
