Facebook Adds GIF Support to Messenger
Facebook is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the GIF by making available GIFs in comments and the introduction of some exclusive GIFs.
People love communicating with GIFs on Messenger, and Facebook is also making it easier to use GIFs on Facebook. Starting from today, users are able to add GIFs in their comments on Facebook globally.
In addition, GIPHY Studios created 20 GIFs featuring some of the internet's most recognizable faces: DNCE, Logan Paul, Amanda Cerny, DREEZY, Patrick Starr, Violet Benson, Wuz Good, Brandi Marie, and Landon Moss.
They will be available to use by searching #GIFparty when sharing a GIF on Facebook or Messenger or by visiting GIPHY.com/Facebook.
Finally, Facebook is looking to solve the debate over how the word GIF is pronounced - whether the "hard g" or "soft g" pronunciation reigns supreme - once and for all. Over the next few days, if you live in the US you might see a poll on Facebook asking you to cast your vote. You can also vote by visiting Facebook's official Page on your mobile phone. To find the Page, search for "Facebook" in the main Facebook app.
