The photographs are very good to allow us to save beautiful memories of any moment, place or object that we have fallen in love with, but the real truth is that there is nothing better than a video to be able to collect what we were able to experience in the first person. However, there is a question that arises, and it is the fact why we would not be able to combine these different elements. With this, we can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Many users will be unaware of this very practical function that the vast majority of mobile devices currently have, the simple fact of being able to make different videos in the most original way with the photos that you have taken with your mobile. In addition, it will not be necessary to have the help of any of the different apps that exist today, such as Google Photos. Therefore, we will show you what they are and how to create them in the simplest way with your terminal.
What are stories
The stories or memories, the name may vary depending on the brand of the mobile device, it appeared a few years ago in the terminals to be able to create videos from the photos we have on the mobile itself . Although it is a function that not all users know, since in some cases these stories have to be created manually. On the other hand, in other more recent terminals, this function is activated as standard, so these stories or memories will be made automatically.
In addition, it is a useful function for those users who want to convert their photos into videos. Since with this tool that is within the gallery of images of mobile devices, we can create videos in the simplest way , without having to install any type of application that is responsible for video editing or similar.

In order to create a story or a memory , we will first have to access the native app of the gallery that our mobile device has integrated. After this, we will have to enter the gallery settings and see if we have this tool. Since this function is not available in all brands, so you will have to look for it. If in your case if you have this tool, you can have these videos created both automatically and manually.
For the latter, the way to create them could vary, so we are going to show you how to make these creative videos in the following terminal brands that have this tool in their galleries.

Then, we will only have to activate the Automatic Stories switch , and then we will only have to wait for the terminal to create these original videos by itself.
Xiaomi
The gallery of Xiaomi and Poco terminals offers us a similar tool to be able to carry out the creation of these video clips from our photos that we save in the mobile gallery. To be able to make these stories, we will only have to select the images that we want to appear in said video. Then, you will have to click on the Creativity icon and choose Clip . In addition, the customization layer that these devices have, MIUI, allows us to make some adjustments to the stories, such as editing the video extension, applying different themes and even putting music on.

To do this, we must click on the menu and then on Create a video, which will appear at the bottom, although it could vary depending on the version of EMUI that we have installed on our terminal.
Oneplus
For OnePlus brand mobiles, this functionality appeared after the update of OnePlus Gallery v3.8.21 at the beginning of 2020. With this version, an album was added that automatically generated these stories from the photos in the gallery.
iPhone
One of the first brands to have this tool in its native gallery to be able to create videos from photos was Apple. It was in 2016 with the update of the Photos app, with iOS 10, when the function called Memories was launched. A space where the photographs and videos that we have been collecting over time are brought together in a creative way.
In addition, in this case, the iPhone are capable of including different multimedia elements such as music, transitions or related content by themselves. And that’s not all, since in these terminals we can make different changes to these videos, such as, for example, changing the music, the titles of said memories, the photos and videos that we want to appear, the transitions and the duration.
However, with the arrival of iOS 11 this function received some changes for the better, also integrating the possibility of offering different display modes such as Extreme, Funny, Sentimental, etc.

That is, instead of always having the same wallpaper, it will change over time and the best of all is that it will be the stories that our mobile phone has generated from our images. To check if our terminal allows us to apply this change to the lock screen, we must enter Settings and enter the lock screen settings. Once inside, we will only have to look carefully if we have this option.
