FAQs

1. What websites have GIFs?

The right part of your keyboard app's user interface is where you may locate GIFs. You would need to switch to another keyboard program that enables inputting GIFs.

2. Can an iPhone send GIFs to an Android device?

Yes, you can use Snapchat to transmit GIFs from an Android phone to an iPhone. Whatever smartphone you or your contacts use, the software is the same and operates without a hitch.

After that, you press the profile symbol in the upper right corner. Then you check whether your keyboard has an update available.

4. Why did GIF on iPhone stop working?

5. Is there a GIF keyboard on the iPhone?

Utilize the iMessage GIF Keyboard.

Select the chat you wish to send GIFs to by opening the Messages app on your iPhone. A group of icons will appear at the bottom of the screen (or right above the keyboard). Tap the #images symbol from among them (pink icon with a lens). Within iMessage on the iPhone, there is your GIF keyboard.
