Facebook's new feature lets you create your own animated GIF image

In today's world, emojis are vital to any communication. Emojis and animated GIF are the most preferred form of communication than having to type. Facebook is introducing a built-in GIF creator in its iOS app to cash in on the popularity of the GIF format.

The new GIF mode in the Facebook app was first reported by The Next Web's Director of Social Media, Matt Navarro, who reported seeing a new GIF option on top of the Facebook camera. The feature was found only on iOS and could not be seen on Android, suggesting that it could be rolling out just for iOS as of now.

TNW' s report states that GIF's created through this feature are short, lasting only a few seconds. You can use the full range of effects and frames from the Facebook camera. You can also add GIF to your Facebook story, post it to your profile or save it to your device.

In recent months, Facebook has introduced the feature of adding small animated videos in the comment section as a part of the 30th birthday of GIF format. This new feature by Facebook means that you don't have to download any third party apps for creating GIF's.
