On one hand, Twitter may be looking to build a decentralized social media standard but on the other, it continues to add some helpful features to the platform. The latest feature will make your Live Photos captured via an iPhone or iPad (basically, an iOS device) a lot more useful and likable.

Twitter Preserves JPEG Image Quality As Well
Uploading Live Photos as GIFs is a feature restricted to iOS users, but there’s another important feature update that’s available for all. And it’s a blessing for photographers.
Starting today, Twitter will preserve JPEGs as they are encoded for upload on Twitter for Web. (Caveat, cannot have EXIF orientation)
