Livo EnterprisesMaking a Memory
Version 4 · Last updated 9 November 2026
A Memory is a set of photos in order, a story, and your voice if you want it. It is what gets sealed, shared and given.
Starting one
Three ways. Mark the photos you want (swipe up in the Gallery) and tap New Memory on the marked row. Or select photos and tap Make a Memory on the selection row. Or open a Moment’s menu and tap Make a Memory of these. The canvas opens with the photos in the order they were taken; the first is the hero.
The canvas
Write the Story (type or dictate). Long-press a photo to make it the hero; swipe a photo left to take it out; Add from Library brings more in. The Memory Date is the date the Memory is about; Livo sets it from the earliest photo, and you can change it. Save keeps it; a new Memory then asks whether to clear your marks. There is no limit on how many Memories you make.
If some photos are no longer on this phone, Save says so and offers Find Them (see When something looks wrong) or Save Anyway, using Livo’s small copies.
Scrapbook pages and Collage pages
The canvas can also make a Scrapbook page or a Collage page from the same photos: one page, laid out the way you want it, with a name of its own. They sit in Memory Lane beside your Memories. Open a page and tap its share button for Save page to Photos (the page drawn at print size, into an album called “Livo: Pages”) or Share the page; nothing goes to Photos unless you tap. Each page can also go into a printed book; a scrapbook of several pages is simply several Scrapbook pages, chosen in order. See Order prints.
Narration
On the Memory’s screen, tap Record to tell the story in your own voice. Listen back, then Keep, Record Again or Discard. The recording is kept with the Memory and travels in its Time Capsule and in a gift.
The Memory video
Share › Share as Video renders the Memory as a video: the hero with the title as the first frame, each photo in turn with the names of the people in it and the story, your narration over it. The share sheet offers Save Video, AirDrop, Messages, Mail and Files. The file is named after the Memory and the date, and it plays anywhere. When you make a gift of a Memory, Livo makes this video for you; see Making a gift.
Editing later
Every Memory stays editable: open it from Memory Lane, tap Edit. Editing never changes your marked photos. Reorder Photos puts them in any order you like.
