The messaging application WhatsApp continues to leave some functions off the hook from its service. And it is that, despite being the messaging tool with the largest number of active users worldwide, there are issues that other applications do offer, and that leave a WhatsApp in a very bad place when it comes to useful features. One of them is the inability to send GIF images through their chats.Those animated images or small videos contained in photographic archives that succeed when they are shared on social networks or in other messaging tools that do show their movement, thus getting the attention of users and becoming a viral content Of course, there is a trick to get sharing this type of GIFs created by the user in the application Google Photos
The company's photo application Google has had the possibility to create animations since its inception A feature with which to choose up to a total of 50 images or frames that play as a video, showing one behind another, in the same image file. A GIF file that is incompatible with WhatsApp messages, but has found the formula to be shared and show movement in these chats thanks to the latest update of the Google Photos application
Thus, in addition to adding support for Chromecast or the possibility of giving names to contacts that appear in photos, Google Photos has found the key to share a file GIF through WhatsApp: transform it into a video to use Of this Simply create your GIF of your own by pressing the + button from the gallery and selecting the option Animation Here you have to choose the images that will form it, and click on the Create button to complete the process.
This makes the animation or GIF available for sharing from the Google Photos gallery , being able to select the channel WhatsApp to find all available individual and group chats.The difference is that, instead of showing the screen to share images, the process makes it as if it were a video, even allowing the option oftrim it in length to send only a fragment.
But what's even better is that this little trick also works with any other GIF files stored in Google Photos That's right possible download animations from the Internet and save them in this cloud to share them as a video by WhatsApp Without being their own creations, and being able to use any fun animation that the user comes across. Of course, the process is more long and tedious having to download the GIF from the Internet , store it to Google Photos and, once from there, share it via WhatsApp as if it were a video to use.
This video, instead of repeating itself in a loop, shows several repetitions throughout the playback, offering a very similar experience to GIF , albeit in a limited way. Of course, it is not the same, but it is a temporary solution of the most convenient. Of course, you must have the latest version of Google Photos available for the platform Android
