How do you send/text gifs?

[Snareman]

I'm using Gboard and when I click the smiley face button when texting I can get the list of gifs, but then when I click on one it tells me that the text box doesn't support input for them. How do I send one?

Gboard doesn't allow gifs in texts currently.

Your only option is to use swift key beta or regular SwiftKey.

They allow gifs in texts and snap

That's a bummer. I've tried several of the other keyboards, but have become most fond of the Gboard layout, functionality and accuracy.

OK, I switched back to Swiftkey and got it working.

Samsung messenger doesn't support gifs from Gboard, if u use a different SMS app u can continue using Gboard. Textra seems to be popular if u really want to give it a go.

Correct. I use Gboard on Android Messenger on my S8 plus and the gifs work perfectly.

I use the Giphy app to download a gif and then I add it on a message like if I'm adding a photo.
