Have you recently upgraded to iOS 13.4? After I upgraded and few days later I experienced an issue where non of the videos would convert to Live Photo. The app was just stuck at importing the video. I restarted my iPhone and it immediately started working again. I have been seeing an unusual spike in number crashes in last few days. I am guessing people who are experiencing this issue are going back to the previous screen and trying again while it’s still in progress. This will cause a crash. 😩 ...

Trying to make a ringtone from songs you have in Apple Music but it’s not showing any of them in MusicToRingtone? That’s because you don’t own any songs in Apple Music streaming service and they are DRM-protected. Apple Music can’t be screen-recorded either. If you try, it will automatically be muted! You will either have to buy the song from the iTunes Store or you will have to try to find it on the iTunes Store, YouTube, YouTube Music, or Pandora and screen-record it. Screen recording is still working for these apps as of writing this post! ...
