The iOS 11 Photos app finally recognizes GIFs as animated images

As the days go by the first beta of iOS 11 for developers it is being squeezed more and more: news every day, new aspects that were not mentioned in the keynote ... IOS 11 Photos Recognizes GIFs as animated images and groups them in an album apart from the static images, in this way finding this type of images will be much easier with iOS 11. They are small changes that can help iOS 11 to improve the user experience at the time to use these GIFs in instant messaging apps, for example.

GIFs integrated into Photos in iOS 11: it's about time

For those who are unfamiliar with the GIF image format, it is an animated image format that resembles a Live Photo and can be shared and viewed by most instant messaging applications. With iOS 11 we can enjoy these images integrated into the Photos app.

Although from the album itself we do not recognize if it is a GIF, if we press harder using the 3D Touch or access the image itself, we can see how it is a animated image, in the purest Live Photos style (in terms of how to display the content).

The image remains static unless we click on it, but if we want to consult all the GIFs in our photo library, We have it very easy since iOS 11 creates a separate album for this type of images. It is an easy way to have all the GIFs at hand to be able to use them in all the applications. At last we can save our favorite moving images on the reel and locate them quickly and easily.

As we tell you, the news of iOS 11 continues to appear every day. At the moment, you can check the 11 interesting functions that were not discussed in the keynote in this post from my partner Ignacio Sala.
