WhatsApp is a perfect way to keep in touch with friends all over the world. In addition to sending text messages and photos, you can also add GIFs and Apple’s Live Photos and short video clips. Here’s a quick guide on how you can add a touch of motion to your WhatsApp conversations.
Send GIPHY GIFs on WhatsApp
WhatsApp offers a built-in GIF feature that lets you search the vast library of GIFs on Giphy and animated clips without having to save them on your iPhone first.
Convert videos to GIFs
You can send pre-existing videos on WhatsApp, but you can also convert them to GIFs. There is a restriction, though: the GIF should not be more than 6 seconds long, as videos longer than that duration do not provide a conversion option.
Send Live Photos
Owners of an iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, or newer models can send their Live Photos to friends through WhatsApp. However, they must first convert to GIFs to provide access to other smartphone users.
Send Existing GIFs from Your Camera Roll
If you accumulated some GIFs in your camera roll, they are very easy to add to new messages thanks to the GIF search function.
Send GIFs from the Internet
You can easily send GIFs from the internet in a post. You can use sites like Giphy or simply search them on social media feeds or through regular web searches. Just press and hold the screen when you find the one you like and copy the image, then paste it into WhatsApp.
With so many ways to send GIFs on WhatsApp, you can make your conversations more engaging and fun.
