2016-01-01 17:56:44 Sending GIFs

To make sending your favorite animations easier, we've added a dedicated GIF tab to the sticker panel. Long tap on GIFs in chats (on Android, tap next to the GIF) and ‘Save’ to add them to the panel. Then send them to any chat in one tap. Open / Comment

Good news for GIF-lovers! As of today, you can send and download GIFs up to 20x faster. This is possible because we're now re-encoding all GIFs to mpeg4 videos that require up to 95% less disk space for the same image quality.

We've optimized our apps so that they can smoothly play even dozens of GIFs on the screen at the same time. GIFs will now play automatically, so there's no need to launch each one manually anymore. (You can turn this off in Settings when you need a break.) Open / Comment
