The Apple iPhone 6s , the iPhone 6s Plus and the iPhone SE offer the Live Photo feature. So you capture your video snapshot at the same time a video, which takes a few seconds. You may like to look at the moving photo, but it is not so easy to share it with others in the social media. There it is often only displayed as a simple photo. On the other hand, the conversion to another file format helps.
Live photos are hardly supported
Instagram and Twitter do not support live photos at all. They only work with Facebook if all iOS 9 users and the Facebook app are using iOS . There live photos can be seen on the icon at the bottom right. By using your 3D Touch or pressing on the screen for a long time, you move the Live Photos.
Convert Live Photos to GIFs
For the live photos to move in different apps, you must first convert them to a video or GIF. Converting to a GIF is usually the best idea because it is displayed correctly in almost all apps. Also WhatsApp is to support the file format soon. For example, the two Apps Lively and the LP Converter .
We recommend the LP Converter. This does not contain any advertising or watermarks on the pictures and is free. With the LP Converter you can determine the speed of the GIF as well as the file size. Another possibility is the App Motion Stills by Google , which can also link several live photos to a movie.
Share live photos as GIFs
The file will be saved in the CameraRoll after the conversion, which starts with a few clicks. There you land all the pictures that you have taken with the iPhone or iPad. If you look at the GIFs in the photo app, the pictures do not move, but as soon as you incorporate them into a tweet, they work just like Live Photos. Now you can share the GIFs from the camera roll through your messenger apps with all contacts.
Summary:
In order for the Live Photos to move, if you share them in other apps like Twitter and Instagram, you usually have to convert them to a different file format
Best is to use your Apps LP Converter or Google Motion Stills for conversion
The GIFs are stored in your Camera Roll, from where you can share them in apps like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram
