Facebook's iOS app now supports Live Photos
- 8 years ago
The social network updated its iOS app Monday with support for Apple's Live Photos, the moving images the company introduced with the iPhone 6S .
Unlike a typical photograph, Live Photos capture one 12-megapixel image along with a second and a half of video before and after, strung together to create a short clip that's very GIF-like.
Once uploaded to Facebook, anyone who has a device running iOS 9 or later will be able to view the Live Photos, even if they don't have an iPhone 6S.
Though iPhone 6S owners represent a relatively small portion of Facebook's users, the addition of Live Photos is good news for those hoping to see more developers adapt their apps for the feature.
