Twitter rolls out an exclusive feature for its iOS app

Twitter rolls out an exclusive feature for its iOS app that will let users upload live photos as GIFs.

The micro-blogging social site cleared that the ‘Live Photos’ feature in iOS can be uploaded as GIF on Twitter.

Earlier the iOS app users only had a choice to edit the image that they're tweeting, however, currently, they will convert it into a GIF.

Previously, iOS users could upload a GIF on twitter but only by using a third-party app.

From now, you can able to upload your iOS Live Photos as GIF, anywhere you upload photos on Twitter.

This new feature will also preserve the JPEG encoding on images up to 16 MP when uploaded via Twitter for Web so that the quality of the image is not degraded.

With this updated feature, you will be able to capture short videos and upload them like GIF via your iPhone or any other iOS device.

Twitter stated,

"Every day numerous iOS Live Photos go un-shared. They live in isolation, deep in forgotten albums. Today is a new day. Live Photos now have a home on Twitter."

The idea behind Live Photos was to share the moment with the ones who it's being sent to.

Twitter said,

“We will still enforce limits, thus pictures don't seem to be limitless in file size or resolution, however, those limits are terribly generous so just about any an 8-megapixel picture is going to be preserved and even up to 16 megapixels will be preserved (in sq. facet ratio).”

To access this feature, the users can simply select the Live Photo clicked from the iPhone and tap on the GIF button and post them with a text if required.

Until now, there is no word from the company if it will be rolled out for Android or not. Hope, that this feature will be rolled out for Android users too!
