Twitter Inc. remains committed to improving its application. With the intention of attracting the attention of new or potential users, it is conducting numerous tests. The first and most notable thing he added was to change the favorite icon or FAV for the heart of Like or Like, something that did not leave anyone indifferent, with the majority of users who did not like the change. The last thing you are testing is a new button that will surely be very welcome.
How can you see in the following tweet, new button It is situated between that of adding an image and that of surveys, this second is a novelty that has not been around for too long. Although it is not yet clear how it will work, what we can know is that we will be able to send moving images, better known for their extension, GIF, in a simpler way than we can do it today. What do you think of the idea?
Twitter will allow us to send GIFs from your application

It didn't take long to see the first reactions from users. Shortly after the announcement, they began to appear tweets in which, in one way or another, this future role was welcomed. Here are a few of those tweets:

To be honest, it seems like a good idea to me. Right now, if I want to send a GIF quickly, I have to do it using Workflow, where I have one that allows me to search giphy and tweet it later. Not that I'm complaining, but it would always be much better if it could be done directly from the application. Although it will surely be available only in the official application, like surveys. Hopefully they release the API and we can use the upcoming feature of sending GIFs with third party clients like Tweetbot. Let's hope so.
The iPhone does not allow saving GIFS on the camera roll. I do not see it much sense. I won't be able to save the ones I like, or attach them from the reel or anything. It sure is the star feature of iOS 10 ... Blessed iOS 6 ...
Hello, R54. Yes it does. What it cannot natively is reproduce them. If you want to see them for free, you can see them in an email (maybe in a note, I haven't tried that). With Workflow (paid application) I see them with an extension that acts as a preview and can be launched from the reel.
A greeting.
