WhatsApp Trials Automatically Moving GIFs, Making Chats Even More Exciting

iwanrj.com – Jakarta – WhatsApp seeks to encourage conversations in interactive chats. One of them is by testing the GIF feature on WhatsApp which can move automatically before finally launching it to users.

Actually, the GIF feature has been around for a long time on WhatsApp. It’s just that this animation only moves once, and the user needs to tap the GIF again to animate the GIF.

It’s just that in the future it looks like GIFs will move automatically or autoplay, because the feature is currently under development. quoted Telset from GSMArena As of Wednesday (03/05/2023), the auto-moving GIF feature is being tested on WhatsApp beta 2.23.10.2 for Android.

In the screenshot posted on the WA Beta Info site, users can set GIFs sent in chats to move automatically, so they don’t have to press GIFs manually again.
