In recently years, Emojis have proved to be a better way to share expressions. Every social app supports emojis and just last week, 72 new Emojis were added to the line-up.
GIFs on the hand, express way more than emojis. Most times, it is considered to be the best way to have conversations on the internet.
If you don't really fancy typing and emojis are becoming boring to you, GIFs could be the answer to having a more lively conversation.
Facebook currently supports GIFs and they work better through URLs (links). It is rumored that WhatsApp will be having same feature very soon.
The new feature was first spotted on @WABetainfo, a Twitter account that keeps track of new features in the WhatsApp beta update. The account stated that WhatsApp version 2.16.7.1 will automatically embed GIFs from links into conversations and Auto-Play them just like how Facebook works with GIFs.
Unfortunately, GIFs will only Auto-Play via links as such, sharing GIFs directly will display it as an image.
There's no specific word as to when this update will be made available on the platform, what’s more important is that the feature will be hitting WhatsApp soon as it is already in the beta stage.
