Great little tip on how you can convert photos in your Live Photos Album into GIFs in iOS 11. GIFs that can then be shared with whomever you choose.
- Open Photos
- Select the Live Photos Album
- Select the live photo you wish to convert to a gif
-
When you have selected a photo swipe up on the screen (not from the very bottom or you will open the Control Centre) and you will see the following screen with a section named Effects. In here you can choose the effect you want the live photo to have:
- Live
- Loop
- Bounce
- Long Exposure
-
I will choose Loop
- This will now take you to a new screen showing your live photo using the effect you chose
- Now if you go into Photos you will see an album named Animated. Open the album
- Select the live photo (which is now a GIF)
- Select the Share Button
- You can now share the GIF through whichever app you wish. So you can quickly share your new GIF via Whatsapp with a mate (I'm sure they'll love to get some random GIFs from you)
