- Convert videos into GIFs: GIF images are a popular fun element when it comes to chatting. All these while, a user could only share those GIF images which are shared on WhatsApp, but now they can create it too. Now WhatsApp users can convert short video clips into GIF images and share it with their friends through the application. Other options like adding of texts and emojis are also available on WhatsApp.
- Animated GIF support: In WhatsApp, users can send a GIF file with the help of attach file button. On pressing the ‘Attach File’ button, user will get directed to the Gallery on their device. From there, users can find the GIF image and before sending it across they can crop the image according to their preferred size. This feature is different compared to the above mentioned ‘Convert videos in GIF’ feature.
