How to add GIFs to Threads

GIFs are now essential for online communication, yet Threads initially lacked full GIF integration. Fortunately, workarounds exist to share GIFs on this Meta platform.

Sharing GIFs on iOS:

1. Find your GIF: Use a search engine (including "gif" in your search) or resources like Know Your Meme or Giphy.

Pro Tip: Giphy offers a vast GIF library.

2. Copy the GIF: Open the GIF, long-press, and select "Copy image."

3. Paste into Threads: Create a new thread, long-press the text field, and select "Paste."

Sharing GIFs on Android:

This process is more involved than on iOS.

1. Find and Download: Locate your GIF using a search engine, then long-press and select "Download image." (Sharing directly from the browser will only paste the URL, not the GIF itself.)

2. Locate the Downloaded GIF: Access it through your notification drawer ("Download complete") or your file manager (usually in the "Images" folder).

3. Share on Threads: Open the GIF, tap the share icon (often a square with an upward-pointing arrow), and select the Threads app.

Using Giphy:

The Giphy app (available for Android and iOS) simplifies GIF sharing. Search, select, and use the share button to post directly to Threads.

On iOS, you can integrate Giphy as a keyboard for even easier access:

1. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard > Giphy.
2. Enable "Allow Full Access" for system-wide use.
3. Switch to the Giphy keyboard (globe icon) in Threads, search for, and select your GIF. Then paste it into your thread.

Sharing GIFs from Other Apps:

You can share GIFs from other apps (like WhatsApp or Twitter) using their respective share functions and selecting Threads as the destination. For Twitter, use the "Share via" option.

Choose wisely and make your Threads posts stand out!
