The launch of iPhone 6s, came from the hand of a new function, Live Photos, a function that doesn't seem to have been as successful I might have hoped Apple due to the lack of support from most social networks. Finally, everything seems to indicate that Twitter has already bothered to offer compatibility with this iOS functionality.
According to Mat Navarra, in the Twitter code for iOS We can find support for Live Photos, but at the moment it is not activated, so it is likely that sooner or later the official Twitter application will activate this function, both to share and to view this type of content.
Currently if we want to share an image of this type, the process is somewhat cumbersome, since we have to access the iOS reel and add the loop or bounce effect, sliding the image up. Once we have added the effect to the moving image, we can share it through Twitter as it is converted to GIF format.
Facebook was the first platform to add support for Live Photos, without having to resort to cumbersome processes that if we have to perform to share the images on Twitter. To be able to reproduce the content published in this format on Facebook, we have to press and hold on the screen.
For now, we do not know when he has in mind the microblogging social network activate this function. It is likely that at the moment you are only testing this option in the application code and that it will never be available, although this last option is very unlikely, since it does not make sense to add compatibility in your app so as not to offer it in future updates to the users.
