As a result, many new, innovative keyboards are now hitting the market. Among these options is GIPHY Keys, a fun new way to easily send GIFs to fellow friends. GIPHY Keys was created by the online GIF database of the same name. But now, it’s easier than ever to find and share your favorite GIF without having to search for it in your browser.

The creation of these GIFs extends to WhatsApp, too. Thus, if SMS is not your thing, then WhatsApp will cater to all of your GIF needs. Use DFNDR’s WhatsApp Cleaner to ensure that all of your favorite GIFs are safe and sound within the app. The WhatsApp Cleaner is a feature that allows you to gain storage space by eliminating old and unused videos, audio messages, GIFs, and images shared on WhatsApp. DFNDR shows you, in just one screen, exactly how much space you can save by removing old WhatsApp files from your phone. You’re able to select which files, and from which date, that you want to remove. Click here to remove old, unwanted GIFs from your device now:

How GIPHY Keys Works

GIPHY Keys enables you to search and send GIFs to anyone that you want to. GIPHY Keys can provide you with the perfect GIF for any occasion. For instance, sometimes a picture of Beyonce smiling says a lot more than a simple smiley face emoji.

Not only can you search for GIFs on GIPHY Keys, but you can also create them as well. You can even get a GIF of the current weather outside. For example, if it’s a rainy day outside, there will be a lot of rainy day GIFs available for you to send to all of your buddies. You can also make a GIF out of your own image. For example, if you want to make a smiley face GIF using your face, the app provides an easy template for you to do so.

This application also includes several “reaction GIFs” that add a significant creative element to texting. For example, if you are surprised by a statement your friend made, you can send a “surprised” reaction GIF to your friend to inform him or her of your emotional response to his or her statement.

<![CDATA[How to Up Your Social Media Game with GIFs]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/social-media-game-gifs/ Thu, 30 Jun 2016 23:26:08 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=1838 In case you’re somehow unaware, a GIF is a short, digital video image. For many of us, it’s like a moving photo that takes the place of a stagnant picture. Today, GIFs are the millennial generation’s pride and joy. They can be used in a number of ways, for presentations, emails, or funny text messages.

Just recently, GIFs started gaining popularity in the world of social media. However, the fact that they are not-quite-pictures, but not-quite-videos can make the process of inserting them into different venues complicated. Here is a quick guide on how you can use GIFs on all of your favorite social media platforms:

Instagram
 To use a GIF on Instagram, you must save, and select the file from your device. If you find the GIF online, save it as a link instead of an image. You can then download the GIF onto your phone, via the link, and it will be saved to your camera roll. When you enter Instagram, click on the button to the left of the shutter to open your photo gallery, and select the desired GIF.

 Facebook
To post a GIF in a Facebook status update, or on someone’s wall, simply paste the URL of the GIF into the “Update status” option. This will upload the GIF in a visual format to the status.

To post a GIF in a Facebook comment, you must go to the far right corner of the “Add a comment” option. There you’ll see a button labeled “GIF.” When you click on this button, you can upload a link of the GIF as a comment.

Twitter
GIFs can be uploaded to Twitter via the photo gallery after downloading the link to your device. Using the same process described for Instagram, download the link from a website, and the GIF will be saved to your camera roll. Once the GIF is downloaded, tap the camera icon on Twitter, and select the desired GIF from your photo gallery.

To use a GIF from the GIF library, tap the button labeled “GIF” on Twitter, and you will have access to Twitter’s GIF database. Keep in mind that you can only include one GIF per Tweet, but they will be posted in full size.
