Facebook starts rolling out GIF shooting capabilities on its camera

If you use the built-in camera in Facebook, you might notice that there’s a new feature there. Facebook has started to roll out a new GIF function to its users. From the top part of the window, you’ll see “Normal” and “GIF” options. Just swipe right if you’re in the Normal setting. The GIF mode has different frames and filters for you to play around with. The caveat is that these can only be shared on Facebook, whether through your stories or as a post on the service. Other than that you can save them as videos, which means it’s not meant to be used outside of the service. The feature hasn’t been released for everyone yet so you may or may not see it. If you have, how is it? Do you see yourself using it more?
