GIFs are dynamic files that have become an indispensable part of the vernacular of the internet generation. They can be used in any setting — formal or informal — to make an emphatic (and often hilarious) punch line.
How to Fix GIFs Not Working on iPhone
So, what if GIFs suddenly stopped working on your iPhone? It would be as if someone had forcibly shut down your means of expression. That can’t be! So, here we have gathered some solutions to help you fix the problem.
On the iPhone, the primary use for GIFs is within the iMessage app for sending and receiving messages. Apple has perfected the feature with the #images app, which is built into iMessage as a gallery for exploring and using popular GIFs whenever you want. It's important to note, however, that #images is limited to the iMessage app and is not accessible in any other app using the iPhone's native keyboard.
But because GIFs have become something of a collectible that you can open and use in a variety of ways on your iPhone, they've also come with a number of requirements. To meet these needs, you can download GIFs from a website or a received message, save them to the Photos or Files app for later viewing, or share them via messaging apps like iMessage or WhatsApp on your iPhone.
