If you use Google Photos, you know the service is so much more than just the best way to store and back up all your photos and videos into the cloud. 。

Creates "animations" using batches of bursted photos. (You can also create your own animations by manually selecting between 2-50 photos, but the end result is the same -- you still get a GIF file.)。

I'm constantly amazed by how great the automatically generated animations are, and it sure beats using a separate app like Burstio to convert your burst photos into a video or a GIF.  。

There's just one little thing: While you can download and share the animated GIFs online to Twitter, Giphy or wherever using a computer, sharing GIFs natively to Instagram is still impossible without first converting the file into a video. 。

Animations that Google Photos created but you didn't save within 30 days of their creation will not appear and are lost forever, so save them when they're created.) 。Tap the "•••" located in the upper right corner and then tap "Download" to save the GIF.

On Android, things are even easier and you can share GIFs directly from Google Photos to Instagram, as the app automatically converts the GIF into a video, no extra app required. 。

Select your Google Photos animation GIF as outlined above and then tap the share icon in the lower left. Select Instagram as the app (obviously, have it installed and logged in) to share the GIF. Once the GIF's been auto converted into a video, you'll be taken Instagram where you can select a filter and add a caption. 。
