Sometimes, there’s no better way to convey our feelings than with an animated image. GIFs add a dose of fun and dynamics into conversations. For example, GIHPY is the world’s leading database of GIFs, and you can send one from there as well. Fortunately, you can search outside the iOS box and choose just about any GIF on the internet.
Maybe the iOS default gallery doesn’t have a GIF that transfers the emotion you want to convey. If so, let’s explore how to share a GIF to iMessage from another app. However, maybe you didn’t find a GIF you like and decide to search the web instead. Just type a message under the GIF before hitting “Send,” and the message will get delivered together with the GIF.Īs you can see, sending a GIF using iOS’ default keyboard only requires a few simple steps. The iMessage app also lets you add comments to a GIF. For example, if you want to send a congratulations GIF, you may type “Happy Birthday,” or “Congratulations,” or similar keywords depending on the occasion. Select the red icon featuring a magnifying glass.
