Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows users to comment on stories and posts with GIFs.
The GIFs that will be used to reply will be pulled from GIPHY. Currently, Instagram users are already able to post GIF-animated stickers to their stories.
In addition to the GIF feature, Instagram has added some more features that offer better control over the app. These include the ‘Quite mode’, the ‘Not interested’ button and others.
To reply with a GIF, users have to type the keyword of the GIF they’re searching for in the ‘Send Message’ or comment box and then tap the GIF icon that appears.
A series of GIFs from GIPHY’s library will be presented to users based on the search phrase. The feature is being rolled out in phases and should be available to all shortly.
