Twitter has rolled out a new feature for its iOS app that allows users to upload live photos as GIFs. Earlier the iOS app users only had an edit option to the image that they are tweeting, but now they can convert it into a GIF.

With this updated feature, you can capture short videos and upload them like GIFs via your iPhone or any other iOS device.


Up till now iOS users and Android users could only upload a GIF on twitter but only by using a third-party app.

Nolan O'Brien Twitter's senior staff software engineer has also announced that this feature will also preserve the JPEG encoding on images up to 16 MP when uploaded through Twitter for Web so that the quality of the image is not degraded.

Follow these simple steps and make your GIFs.
