Do you love capturing live photos on your iPhone? Want to share those moments as Live Photos on Instagram and Facebook instead of still images? Look no further – we’ve got you covered! In this guide, we’ll show you just how easy it is to upload and share Live Photos on these platforms. Let your friends and followers experience your Live Photos in all their animated glory!
One of the best ways to successfully upload Live Photos to Instagram and Facebook is by using the Motion Stills app from Google. This free app allows you to edit, adjust, and convert Live Photos into videos or looped animated GIFs. Not only can you share them as videos, but anyone on Instagram or Facebook can view them, even if they don’t have an iPhone.
Steps to Post Live Photos to Instagram & Facebook
- Make sure the Live Photo you want to share is stored in your iPhone’s Camera Roll.
- Download the Motion Stills app from the App Store (it’s free!).
- Open the Motion Stills app and select the Live Photo you want to edit and post on Instagram or Facebook. Make any necessary changes.
- Tap the arrow button.
- Choose “Share Clip” from the pop-up menu options.
- From the sharing options, select either “Save Video” to save the Live Photo as a video in your Camera Roll or “Instagram” to directly send the Live Photo to Instagram.
- Open Instagram or Facebook, create a post as usual, including any desired edits or captions, and tap OK to share the Live Photo.
That’s it! Your Live Photo is now successfully posted on Instagram and/or Facebook. If you’re using Instagram, you can also automatically share it on Facebook by toggling the Facebook switch while composing your message.
Remember to save your Live Photo as a video rather than a GIF file. GIFs don’t loop or play on Instagram, so the video option ensures the best viewing experience. However, Motion Stills can also help you create animated GIFs from Live Photos, which you can then share on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr.
Note: If you’ve made changes to the Live Photo or deleted it in the past, you may need to reactivate the Live Photo feature by taking a new photo.
In the future, Instagram and Facebook might offer direct Live Photo support without the need to convert them into videos first. But for now, the method outlined above works wonderfully. Start sharing your captivating live moments with the world!
