GIFs have become one of the most popular ways to express yourself in casual conversations. Whether you're sharing a laugh with friends or reacting to a family group chat, WhatsApp GIFs add personality and humor that plain text simply can't match. On iPhone, sending them is surprisingly easy.
First, open WhatsApp and enter any chat. Next to the text input field, tap the sticker icon (it looks like a smiling face). From here, switch to the GIF tab where you'll find a searchable library of animated clips. Type a keyword like "happy," "dance," or "good morning" to find the perfect reaction.
But that's not the only way. You can also send GIFs directly from your Photos app. Simply open the image, tap the share icon, and choose WhatsApp. This works great when you've saved a funny GIF from social media earlier.
