How Do I Enable GIFs on WhatsApp?

GIFs or Graphics Interchange Format are an animation format used to share short videos and animations. They can be sent over WhatsApp, just like any other media file. To enable GIFs on WhatsApp, you need to make sure that you have the latest version of the app installed.

Once you have done so, you can open a conversation in WhatsApp. Then, tap on the “+” icon at the bottom left corner of your screen to open up the media attachment options.

You will find a “GIF” option among other media files like photos, videos, audio files etc. Tap on it and you will be taken to your default GIF search engine (Google or Giphy).

You can search for your desired GIF and then tap on it to select it. Once selected, tap on the “Send” button at the bottom right corner of your screen and your GIF will be sent over WhatsApp. You can also save the GIFs that you find in this way to your device in case you want to send them later as well.

Note: You should always make sure that any GIFs that you send are appropriate and don’t contain any offensive content or language as they may be seen by people of all ages and backgrounds.

Conclusion: Enabling GIFs on WhatsApp is very simple if you have the latest version of the app installed. All that needs to be done is open a conversation in WhatsApp and then tap on the “+” icon at the bottom left corner of your screen to open up all different types of media attachment options including a “GIF” option which when tapped takes you to your default search engine from where you can search for suitable GIFs, select one, and send it over WhatsApp with just a few clicks!
