Facebook’s Live Photos feature now available for select users on iOS 9Reuters
Facebook's
Live Photos feature has just started rolling out to select users who
are running iOS 9 on their device, while others will have to wait until
early 2016. The company seems to be offering beta access to a select
group of Facebook users in order to attract feedback and complaints,
which will help in further tweaking the app for the best possible
experience.
The Live Photos feature works similar to uploading any
still image on your Facebook account or any other social network. Users
will be prompted to choose between a still image and a Live Photo,
whenever they try to post an image on Facebook. This feature is also
available on Tumblr, which was introduced just a few days ago.

As Redmond Pie
reports, Live Photos will include all the moments captured before and
after the shutter button is pressed. In other words, it is a hybrid of a
video and GIF, wherein the resulting animation will depend entirely on
the subject of the photo alone.
Unlike the still image, a Live
Photo upload will bring up a LIVE box at the bottom right of the
Facebook window. You just have to tap that button to make it a LIVE
photo. On the contrary, if you don't tap the button, the still format of
the image will get uploaded.
By default, you will only get to see
still photos. But, if you see the Live Photos icon, then just tap and
hold the photo to start the animation.
Although all devices
running iOS 9 can upload or use Live Photos, only the iPhone 6s and
iPhone 6s Plus are currently capable of capturing them. The latest version of Facebook app for iOS can now be downloaded via the App Store.
