Instagram have finally launched a feature that allows you to create a GIF - which we are so here for because Boomerang is great and everything, but it’s just not QUITE as expressive as a GIF right?!

Stop Motion, is a brand new in-app tool that will knit together a stream of photos to create a gif for your Insta story. Which, we’re fairly sure, you can probs then download and use anywhere. Cue a billion “Strolling into Monday like” and “That feeling when…” mini-vids of your own face.

According to The Verge, the app isn’t available for everyone right now - probably just the verified accounts, huff, stomp, sigh - but as with everything that’s tried and tested, it’s only a matter of time before we’re all at it.

To appease us, Insta has been introducing some cool new features recently for us common folk; has anyone else been obsessed with the super zoom? Works really well on animals and unsuspecting work colleagues. And we’re impressed by their gradual increase of fun face filters.

Keep it coming, Insta! WE WANT MORE
