Gifs have become a very attractive way to communicate through social networks and messaging apps. The iOS operating system has a couple of tools that can help you convert your photos into gifs. Now we tell you what you should do.
1. When taking a picture, make sure that the Live Photos function is activated . With Live Photos the iPhone camera records seconds before you take the photo to give it movement.
When you have a Live Photo it will look like a normal photo in your gallery but, if you leave your finger pressed on the photo you will see a couple of seconds of the video scene , even with audio.
2. From the photo captured with Live Photo, slide your finger upwards , there you will find different motion effects for Live Photos.
3. Choose the effect of Rebound and your photo will look like a gif that you can share by iMessage to your contacts with iOS operating system.
As you noted, it was very simple, the problem is that this gif-like motion effect is not compatible from iOS with other messaging applications or social networks. But do not worry that for every problem there is an app with a solution, so keep reading if your friends do not use iMessage.
1. Download the free Lively app .
2. In the gallery of this app only the photos you captured with the Live Photo effect appear ; Choose the one you need.
3. From the menu you can export your Live Photo as a gif or as a video if you select the Movie option .
