The Selphee, Yippie Ka Yee! app (or Selphee for short) is one that combines the capabilities of several other photo-sharing apps like Vine, [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon8) and [Snapchat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapchat-shared-stories) into one easy-to-use app.

The app's name is an obvious reference to the selfie phenomenon and this app will let you take some pretty unique ones. Instead of having to choose between sharing either a photo or a video, every "Selphee" is combines still and motion captures into a single file, so that your photos subtly fade out and turn into a video. Like Instagram, you can apply filters and frames to your photo-videos and once you're completely satisfied with your Selphee, you're able to share them via Instagram, [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wifi-digital-picture-frame), Twitter, Whatsapp or text message.
