Wed 17 May 2023:
Meta formerly Facebook is now allowing users to reply on Instagram posts with animated GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format).
During a Broadcast Channels conversation with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Instagram executive Adam Mosseri stated that users can now upload GIFs in Instagram comments, according to Engadget.
“This is a bit of ‘finally feature,’ but we’re launching GIFs in comments today,” Mosseri told Zuckerberg.
Users can now search for and share Giphy GIFs in the comment stream, giving them another option for responding to Instagram posts.
GIFs in Instagram comments are available in the latest version of the app.
According to the report, the feature seems to build on the auto-caption sticker Meta introduced back in 2021.
Based on the screenshot shared by Mosseri, the report said that a timeline at the bottom of the interface will allow users to properly sync the captions.
In the meantime, Instagram has unveiled updated features for its short-video creation app that will empower producers.
The social network has added a dedicated destination for trending audio and hashtags, two new metrics to Reels insights and brought gifts on Reels to more countries.
Creators may now check what the most popular topics and hashtags are on Reels.
