Twitter Lets iOS Users Post Live Photos as GIFs

Twitter is rolling out a new feature to its iOS app, which lets users easily upload their live photos as GIFs.

This feature is exclusive to iOS because live photos are an Apple innovation. A "live" photo captures 1.5 seconds before and after the user taps the shutter button. That means it would turn into a 3-second GIF on Twitter.

If you have an iPhone 6S or above, you can ensure you're taking a live photo by tapping the corresponding icon and looking for the yellow label that says "LIVE."

Turning a live photo into a GIF on Twitter is as easy as it sounds. Simply upload the photo as you normally would, then tap the "GIF" button and publish the tweet.
