Does anyone know how to send gifs? Every time I try the gif gets sent as a still image. I'm not sure it is possible at this point. Any help would be appreciated!
 
It depends on what you're viewing it in. A moving gif is just a series of still pictures and instructions for how fast to show them. A web browser can show them, an app like Gallery will show just the first still.
 
So far ive only had successfil animated gifs viewed by receiver using hangouts. Whatsapp doesnt dusplay them animated ..
 
Just downloaded a newer messaging app from the Play Store called EvolveSMS, one of the unlockable features is the ability to attach a gif to a message. Don't know if it actually works but just thought I would let you know. Really liking the app in general, especially since I normally avoid third party messaging apps.
