Twitter is one of the popular social media platforms that introduce new features from time to time so that people stick to using them. Today is another attempt at this as the microblogging site is giving iOS users the ability to make GIFs of their own and post them with ease. Here’s how you can make GIFs using the Twitter iOS app.
Twitter has made the announcement via a tweet. This feature comes in addition to the existing option to select and post GIFs from a third-party service. Creating your own can help you add a personalized feel to a tweet or a reply to someone else’s tweet.
Ok GIFs aren’t new but what is new is the option to capture your own using the in-app camera on iOS. pic.twitter.com/3Hl6q78e6s— Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) March 22, 2022
Open Twitter on your iOS device, tap the Create tweet icon in the bottom right corner.Select the camera icon in the tweet composer
Then, select the newly introduced GIF option in the camera viewfinder. Click the shutter button to capture a short video and create a GIF. You can also decide to either play the GIF repeatedly or just once.
Once happy, you can tap on the “Use GIF” option to post the same as a tweet.
The created GIFs will automatically be saved to your camera roll. You can also reply to a tweet or a thread with your own customized GIF by tapping the reply option -> selecting the Gallery icon to your left -> Clicking on the camera. Then, follow the same above-mentioned steps.
The new feature is now live on Twitter’s iOS app. However, there’s no word on when it will reach the Android app.
