[Tech Question] Can you send GIF files via smartphones?

I've tried whassap, wechat, Line and even MMS.. all get received as a still picture :(

Only bluetooth file transfer works but that's not what I want to do.

Any one faced this problem before and cracked it?

Any messaging apps which supports this?

pls ignore this.

So many alternatives......

Messages for iOS
Skype
Hangouts
Blackberry Messenger
Yahoo Messenger

......and any Email client....Yes, Krafty is right, just use EMAIL.......

Also, why not upload to any image site and then attach the link? Or perhaps can use Twitter...

Just so to let some of you know, Yahoo Messenger is still the best.
I just dun understand why you people stick with idiotic shit like whatsapp, line, viber, etc, whatever fuck..

You can use BeejiveIM if you need group chat. Yahoo Messenger on smartphones does not have group chat feature.

GIF-sharing now available on WhatsApp for iPhone users

PUBLISHED 7 HOURS AGO


IPhone users can now share GIFs on WhatsApp, according to the latest update by the messaging service on the App Store.


In the update dated Nov 6, the Facebook-owned app informed users that they can now send and receive animated GIFs, short for Graphics Interchange Format.


They are short animated messages - without sound - that netizens regularly use to convey a reaction.


WhatsApp said videos that are six seconds or shorter can also be sent as GIFs - users need only to tap the GIF toggle after picking a video.


It also allows iOS' Live Photos to be sent as GIFs, although users will require an iPhone with 3D Touch.


An integrated search engine, powered by Tenor or Giphy, has been included for users to look for available GIFs.


These can be selected as "favourites" to be used again in the future.


While the feature is not yet available for Android users, The Telegraph reported that this is likely to come soon as a beta version of the app already has GIF support.
