Facebook (FB) is testing new ways for users of the Facebook Messenger app to share GIFs.
One new feature that’s being tested in Facebook Messenger is a GIF button. This button makes it so that some users can select GIFs to share from a list complied by Giphy and Riffsy, both of which have GIF apps for Messenger. The button makes it so that users can share GIFs with a couple of taps and without having to download them, reports TechCrunch.
The other new way that Facebook Messenger is testing sharing GIFs is through a search option. This option is live for a few users in Canada and allows people to search stickers as well. The GIFs that show up in the search are also provided by Giphy and Riffsy, TechCrunch notes.
Facebook Messenger was opened up to more people late last month. The social media company made it so that people could use Messenger without an account. All that is required is the user’s name and phone number.
