Animated GIF mms issue with stock messenger

[jkayakj]

I use the stock SMS app and am having issues sending a receiving animated gifs. They are all below the att MMS size limit but even when I click on them and make them full screen they won't animate. Any thoughts how to fix this besides switching to another app like textra? Thanks
