You can now comment with GIFs on Instagram
Recently, Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram revealed that users can now reply to Instagram posts using GIFs. The inclusion of GIFs in Instagram’s comments section enhances the user experience, providing a more engaging and enjoyable way to interact with posts and other users. This feature enables users to incorporate humor into conversations, express their reactions to posts, and make their comments more eye-catching.
Instagram’s GIF feature in comments functions similarly to that of Facebook. Users have the option to explore a diverse collection of GIFs or search for specific ones on platforms like Giphy.
To incorporate GIFs into comments, users can follow these steps:
- Begin by tapping the comment button on a post, as they would when writing a regular comment.
- Within the comment box, tap the GIF button, which is specifically designated for adding GIFs.
- A selection of trending GIFs sourced from Giphy will appear, allowing users to choose from popular options.
- Users also have the ability to browse through other available GIFs and make a selection based on their preferences.
- Additionally, users can search for a specific GIF that aligns with the content or context of their comment.
