GENIUS TIP
To create a GIF in Photos, go to the Live Photos album, tap Live and choose Loop or Bounce. You can then share the GIF.
WHEN THE LATE Stephen Wilhite created the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) in 1987, he could have had no idea of the impact his invention would have 30 years later. The term has become synonymous with short animated clips used to convey a message or emotion, usually one that captures the cultural zeitgeist, on social media platforms and messenger apps. Most of these apps enable you to tap a button and search for GIFs created by others, but there’s nothing to stop you creating your own. You can do so within the Photos app on iPhone or iPad, but the options are limited — allowing you to turn a Live Photo into a looping or bouncing animation.
