Um, this is… new, I guess.
Today, Twitter has announced that it’s added a new option to more easily create GIFs in-app for users on iOS.
As you can see in this example, now, when you go to the Twitter Camera in the tweet composer, you’ll see a new ‘GIF’ creation option, in addition to ‘Video’, ‘Capture’ and ‘Live’. Within this, you can easily create a GIF of anything you like – just tap and hold on the record button, film your GIF, then post. Easy as pie.
