Apple
You can make a GIF on iPhone by using the live photo feature.
When Apple first launched its live photo feature, it didn't take advantage of the many possibilities inherent in a camera that captures a few seconds around a central image.
Various apps rolled out that allowed users to display the moving picture as a GIF. Some third-party apps, such as GIPHY, still allow you to create GIFs from live photos and with more options.
But the iPhone itself now allows you to turn live photos into moving GIFs in just a few short steps, without having to download any apps.
How to turn a live photo into a GIF on an iPhone
1. Open "Photos" on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the live photo you want to turn into a GIF.
3. Tap and hold the bottom of the photo.
4. Slide your finger up to bring up the moving picture menu (Live, Loop, Bounce, Long Exposure)

You can turn any live photo into a GIF.
5. Tap on "Loop" to turn the picture into a repeating GIF.
You can alternately tap on "Bounce" so that the frames of the picture will go forward and in reverse instead of starting back at the beginning of the picture series.
How to turn a Live Photo into a GIF using Giphy
Giphy presents many more options for getting creative with your GIFs, allows you to share your new creations with the world, and allows you to download other GIFs created by members of the community.
