About four years ago, Apple introduced the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. These two calls, which were a new middle step in the three-year cycle, have brought about significant improvements that, somehow, still exist today. Exactly we're talking about 3D Touch and the functionality brought by this new technology. And even though we've now given it a Haptic Touch, its legacy is still alive than ever.

Thanks to 3D Touch, we found a new way to interact with the iOS interface by pressing it on the screen. And thank you for this, Live Photos was born, photos containing a few seconds of video to capture those moments when the image fails to capture its full effect by removing the movement. The problem was that not all third-party apps were willing to allow for such special iPhone functions.

One of the most reluctant to show these years is Twitter, which is now adjusting its position in a very curious move. For everyone to enjoy live photos properly whether you have an iPhone or not, the app will convert them into animated images or GIFs. Therefore, they will be available on all devices and platforms, or they will lose sound in the process, because this format does not support it.

With any luck, this feature will boost the popularity of the use of live photos, especially from there lets you quickly create GIFs with iPhone, something that requires the use of a third-party app. It is also true that this is nothing new for the competition, in some cases with some form of photography for this type of photo, but it's not as bad that a social network such as Twitter keeps up with the needs of iPhone users.
