Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
iOS allows shooting so called "live-photos" which iOS stores in the photo library as two tied together media assets: JPEG / HEIF file with the actual photo and short video clip played if you tap and hold a Live Photo in the iOS Photos app. Right now we would only upload a still image during media upload and the video clip is not uploaded.
Describe the solution you'd like
We could offer an option in settings which is when active, would allow to upload both a still image and a video clip.

Research direction
Start by locating the iOS media-upload flow and the settings implementation; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Trace how still images are selected and uploaded, then define tests and QA for enabling an option that uploads both Live Photo assets while preserving still-image uploads when it is disabled.
