Answer:
Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and navigate to Camera. Tap on Preserve Settings and switch Live Photo to the On position. This will result in your Live Photo setting consistently being preserved.
Now that the Preserve Settings have been adjusted, you must open the Camera app and permanently disable Live Photos by tapping the yellow circular Live Photo icon. Once disabled, the icon should appear as a series of white circles with a diagonal line across it.
