Facebook now allows you to share animated photos from the iPhone 6s

One of the highlights of the latest Apple devices was the introduction of Live Photos , the animated photos or GIF according to the company's vision of the apple. Once again, a feature that has been present for a long time in the technological world but that Apple has been able to reintroduce it as a new feature to attract the attention of millions of users Worldwide.Of course, as long as they have an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, the only devices able to capture these animated moments, although they are no longer the only ones to be able to enjoy them since Facebookhas started allowing sharing via your social network.

For those who don't know it yet, Live Photos puts a twist on mainstream digital photography by mix photo and video in a kind of GIF animation with sound To do this, capture some seconds of video and audio before and after taking a picture, capturing a moment or movement beyond a snapshot. Then it transforms all this content into a kind of video or succession of photos with sound to transmit more sensations and information. Most attractive content to watch that no longer has to be limited to Apple mobile devices

Thus, the latest version of the application Facebook for the platform iOS has begun to support the Live Photos, or what is the same, allows sharing them through the walls of the social network so that others users enjoy this peculiar format of photography/video. The only negative is that, at the moment, it's more of a test than a released feature for all users, as Facebook is still testing the possibility by offering this option to a limited number of users

Thus, only a few have been able to verify how after updating their Facebook application, the option to share Live Photos on said social network was available.An issue that opens up the possibilities of this content, limited to date to be enjoyed only through a mobile, tablet or Apple smart watch by being shared directly through them. Now also Facebook and the social component come into play, which could become a revolution for this content beyond Apple devices. Although there is still a long way to go.

Depending on media Engadget, only other iPhone or iPad users updated to iOS 9.0 can view Live Photos shared on Facebook, so that its usefulness remains reduced and its visibility just as limited to Apple devices No However, it does give a hint of what could be seen on many users' walls in the coming months if this feature gets traction and the glitches are ironed out.

At the moment the latest version of the application Facebook is now available on App Store to download for free, although its news does not affect all users of iPhone We will still have to wait aCouple of months more, with the expectation that this function will reach more users starting in the new year.
