Via WhatsApp
- Open a chat with the desired user and click the + button.
- Select the Photo/Video format to open the gallery.
- Find the file you want and click it until the context menu appears.
- Click Select as GIF.
- If needed, add a signature, and click on the submit icon.
You can also send videos up to six seconds long in the same way: select GIF format, not video, in the upper right corner before you send.
Via Photo
You can send a "live photo" with a gif without opening messenger. To do this:
- In the Photos app, open the desired file.
- Then, click on Live to the left and select one of the available modes.
- After that, click on the Share icon and select WhatsApp.
- Specify the desired contact, add a signature, and click the send icon.
