Twitter rolls out GIF search feature

Twitter’s GIF search feature will roll out over the coming weeks to everyone around the world on iOS, Android, and twitter.com. 

According to Twitter, people on the micro-blogging platform shared over 100 million GIFs last year — expressing everything from their mood, to an amazing dunk, to their favorite dance move from a music video. The company said the new feature will make sharing GIFs in tweets and direct messages even easier. 

According to Twitter, whenever you’re composing a tweet or direct message, you can search and browse the GIF library for material. If you’re looking for the perfect cat yawn or dance move to express exactly how you feel then one just needs to click the new GIF button, added the company. One can search by keyword, or browse categories of different reactions, including ‘happy dance’, ‘mic drop’, or ‘YOLO’.

 

Starting today, the feature – which has been populated with GIFs courtesy Twitter’s partners GIPHY and Riffsy – will be rolled out.
