As androinauts, you all know the Apple Live Photos feature found on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. But did you know that it is quite possible to do the same on Android? All you need to do is download the right application from the Google Play Store.

Although Apple sells Live Photos to us as exclusive to the iPhone 6S, in reality, the apple did not invent anything. HTC already offers a similar functionality on its One since 2013 with HTC Zoe, but there are also third-party applications capable of doing the same. Here are the 5 best that we have selected for you.
Graphica Live Photo Maker
Graphica is perhaps the easiest application to emulate Live Photos. It is in any case easiest to use since once the application is open, you just have to click on Quick Live Photos to access the camera and then launch your capture. Once the capture is complete, you can then save your animation to the gallery in GIF format and even share it directly to Facebook from within the app.
GifMe Camera
More advanced, GifMe not only allows you to capture Live Photos but also to create from images in your gallery. In addition, before capturing, it allows you to configure the number of frames and frames per second you want to capture yourself. To take a capture, all you need to do is keep the camera shutter button pressed. A selection of filters and editing tools are then offered to you to customize your animation. The application is very well done and the options offered are really nice.
Camera MX
Camera MX is not just an application for taking Live Photos. It is also a full camera app on which the option was recently added. You can therefore perfectly use it as a substitute for the default application of your smartphone, while taking advantage of this option. You will then have to switch to a specific mode of the application which will allow you to capture a sequence of several seconds, instead of a still image, by pressing and holding it down.
The animations are then saved in GIF format and accessible directly through the gallery of the application. You can also share them directly on social networks.
Fyuse Photos en 3D
If the concept of Fyuse goes further than that of Live Photos, it remains essentially the same. Instead of capturing the same shot, the app lets you shoot "Space photos". To do this, all you have to do is keep your finger on the shutter button and then move your phone slightly either up, down or even to the left or right, following the object you want to capture. In particular, you can capture yourself in your new outfit from head to toe.
Once the capture is done, you can then add filters and adjust various settings like sharpness and brightness before saving your “spatial photo” to your gallery and sharing it on social networks.
GifBoom Animated GIF Camera
The advantage of GifBoom Animated GIF Camera is that associates "Live Photos" and social networks. Its interface is very intuitive and allows you either to capture several images in a burst and then create animations, or to create and create animations directly from the media already present in your gallery. Note that you can select up to 60 images.
Once the animation is captured, you can adjust the scrolling speed images and even add an audio track. Once the sequence is finalized, you can then share it, either on Gifboom, or on Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr if you have given access to your social accounts to the application.
