While we hope that one day Facebook allows us to attach animated GIFs In our timeline, as it already happens from the pages, this type of content is having a great acceptance by many apps and services. One that has managed to include it in a wonderful way is Telegram. It has partnered with Giphy so that the user can include in their conversations a huge number of GIFs that do not have a great weight and work at great performance, something vital for a feature like this to have its great effect, since if you are used to reproducing this type of content from other websites, they usually weigh theirs.
Be that as it may, we increasingly see how certain apps are including them in their services so that the user can find another way to have fun with their friends or family, or even show some concern about an important topic. If Twitter included support for this type of multimedia content on its platform not long ago, now it wants you to be able to share more GIFs with a dedicated button in the official app for mobile devices. In this way you will be able to click on this button to show the trend GIFs of the moment or search through different categories to share one that has to do with the topic of the discussion or that news that has just shaken the political or society panorama from a country.
Dedicated button for GIFs
There are already several users who are finding this button in the official Twitter app, precisely located between camera and survey icons in the Android app. It works in such a way that when you click on it you can select between the GIFs of the moment or through a series of categories that show a large repertoire of them.
For those of you used to Facebook Messenger, it works almost identically when sharing content from Giphy and Riffsy. What we do not know are the services you have associated with to share content of this type, although surely some of those two mentioned will be part of this new feature of the official Twitter app for both Android and iOS.
Animated GIFs for everyone
Twitter is in the testing phase And to the request on whether this new capacity will be launched shortly, having been seen by certain users who have suddenly disappeared, the social network responded with the following animated GIF:
Like other brands, Twitter tends to test features through certain users and then launch its final deployment so that we are all of us who can share animated GIFs through this social network of short messages.
A trend in this type of multimedia content that is even being used by certain brands such as the Kik messaging app to launch his first commercial GIFs. It will not take long for us to see advertising campaigns that use this medium, just as there are already artists who use GIFs to create new forms of expression, which, in short, is what this type of format offers.
But the one that has really managed to include this type of content in an excellent way is Telegram in one of its latest updates. With the use of the @gif command we can access a list of thousands of GIFs as we type the type of GIF we want. An easy way to share content that hopefully Twitter will be able to implement with that new button that will be included in the official app for mobile devices. This is precisely one of the biggest novelties since the star or favorite icon on Twitter changed to the heart or "like" more like the one on Facebook.
Now we will only have to see how the rest of social networks and apps integrate this type of content which has been around for many years but now, thanks to all those apps that we have on our phones, is having a greater resonance.
