Live Photos Can Now Be Uploaded Onto Twitter As GIFs

Posted in: Today's Chili

One of the features Apple introduced back with the iPhone 6s is Live Photos. In case you’re unfamiliar, this is a feature that captures moments before and after a photo is taken, which adds some animation and context to the photo. However, given that Live Photos is kind of a proprietary feature to Apple, not all platforms support the uploading of it.

However, the good news is that if you use Twitter and would love to upload Live Photos, you’ll be pleased to learn that Twitter has announced that their platform will now support it. Users who have Live Photos that they want to upload onto Twitter can now do so where it will be shared as a GIF. This means that even users without the iPhone can view it in animated form.

This solves some of the problems with Live Photos where typically it can only be viewed in its original form if you’re looking at it on an iOS device. If not, when it is uploaded onto other platforms, typically it gets converted into a GIF or a short video. That being said, users who do not want to upload the photo as a GIF will still have the option of uploading it like a regular photo. All they need to do is avoid tapping the GIF button during the upload process and it will be shared on Twitter as a regular still photo.

Turn Your iPhone Into An iPod Classic With This App

Posted in: Today's Chili

While Apple’s CEO Tim Cook wants the company to be remembered for its contribution to health care, it’s probably safe to assume that there are many who would remember Apple for their contribution to music, especially with the iPod which kind of led the charge on the digital music front.

The iPod’s design is rather iconic with its trademark scroll wheel that allowed users to adjust the volume and control playback at the same time. However, in this day and age of touchscreen phones, the iPod has kind of faded into obscurity, but the good news is that if you did love the design, you can sort of relive it through an app called Rewound developed by Louis Anslow.

As you can see in the screenshots above, Rewound is a music app that will transform your iPhone into the iPod Classic, complete with a scroll wheel. However, as 9to5Mac notes, Rewound by default does not look like the iPod Classic due to Apple typically preventing apps from using its images. Instead, users will need to select a skin which will need to be downloaded after the app has been installed.

At the moment, Rewound only supports Apple Music but its developer notes that there are plans to support Spotify in the future.
