The WhatsApp development team has seen fit to release an update last night yesterday. In this way, the possibility of sending and receiving GIFs is enabled more easily and quickly, although it was something that could already be done for a few days. However, it leaves us with a bad taste in our mouths, since the possibility of sending and receiving this type of animated images is insufficient, especially if you have ever used Telegram, and have taken advantage of its efficient integrated GIF search engine (you just have to write @ gif…). Well Since we lack the GIF search engine, we are going to show you how to find the best GIFs to share on WhatsApp.
The time has come to liven up the class group, the family or the Thursday party (ahem…), in this way you can forget about the bland Emojis, and move on to a world of unparalleled moving images.
Using Gboard
Gboard is the keyboard that the “Don´t Be Evil” company launched for the iOS platform, thus integrating its powerful search engine into a third-party keyboard for iOS. The problem is that when you are used to the native iOS keyboard, the reality is that all keyboards look bad to you, however, Google's keyboard holds up pretty well if we take the competition into account.
On this keyboard we have a round button with the Google logo, in which, if we press and enter the search term, it will give us the possibility of offering web results, in images or GIFs. If we choose the GIF, we simply click on the one that has convinced us and it will be copied to the clipboard. To introduce it into the conversation we simply paste it into the text bar and ¡Magia!
Through Safari with a search engine or with applications
It seems obvious, but the easiest method is to take advantage of the trusted GIF search engine, for this we have Safari, we simply go to the web page on duty, in this case my favorite is www.giphy.com, a spectacular search engine. Now we click softly on a GIF and we wait for the "Save Image" pop-up to appear.. We save it to the reel and send it through WhatsApp as always. The other alternative is to use applications, with the same mechanism of saving it to the reel.
From videos or Live Photos
As the WhatsApp notes say, now we can create GIFs directly through the videos that we have recorded and are less than 6 seconds long, or it will automatically convert our live photos. To do this, we just have to send them as usual through the reel and the WhatsApp editor will open.
