With the arrival of the iPhone 6s came LivePhotos, an exclusive function of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus that allows us to recall the seconds that surround a normal photograph. Although the similarity to a GIF is really quite obvious, this technology was until now exclusive to Apple and iOS devices, so sharing it beyond our next-generation iPhones was an ordeal. A barrier that Facebook has destroyed with a stroke of the pen, now we can share our LivePhotos via Facebook with your next update. It joins Tumblr as another of the great photography platforms or social network that gives rise to LivePhotos.
Before the end of the year we will receive an update to the Facebook application for iOS that allows us to publish and share our LivePhotos, taking them to all users, whether or not they have an iPhone 6s. These photos play video and audio when touched, just like the GIF version for Facebook. A small round icon in the photograph in the shape of the iPhone «camera» icon will indicate that it is indeed a LivePhoto and We just have to give it a touch to make it come to life.
If you prefer to share a normal photo despite being a LivePhoto, you can also, Facebook will allow the image to be viewed statically if we wish. Many people are going to pay their Facebook boards for these curious photographs, finally the iPhone 6s barrier disappears thanks to this compatibility. What Apple prohibited that Facebook does not prohibit. Introducing a new feature that we can't even teach our friends because they lack a compatible device is almost as absurd as it is hurtful. Not everything Facebook does are aberrations (like the development of WhatsApp), sometimes they surprise us with this type of measure.
