Instagram users can finally comment on posts with GIFs

<p>At long last, you can respond to posts on Instagram with GIFs. Company head Adam Mosseri announced the feature addition in his recent <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/meta-is-bringing-telegram-like-channels-to-instagram-184054107.html">Instagram Channels[/url] chat with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “This is a bit of ‘finally feature,’ but we’re launching GIFs in comments today,” Mosseri told his boss.</p><p>The feature, as you would expect, allows you to comment on a post, or something someone else said, with a GIF from Giphy. That’s the same Giphy the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/meta-to-sell-giphy-after-losing-uk-cma-appeal-132033129.html">ordered Meta to sell last year[/url]. Mosseri said Instagram is also testing lyrics in Reels. The feature appears to build on the <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/instagram-automatic-captions-stories-194326833.html">auto-caption sticker[/url] Meta introduced back in 2021. Judging from the screenshot Mosseri shared, a timeline at the bottom of the interface will make for user to sync the captions properly. So there you have it, you can finally comment on a post with a GIF. Maybe this means Instagram will finally get around to making a dedicated <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/instagram-ipad-app-adam-mosseri-160717090.html">iPad app[/url] at some point.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/instagram-users-can-finally-comment-on-posts-with-gifs-202625683.html?src=rss
