At the moment the sending of GIF images is being delayed in WhatsAppHowever, the latest update of its beta or test version reveals that, soon, any user of WhatsApp You can create your own GIF Animations that repeat in a loop for several seconds to show movement, an expression or whatever is reflected in he. Do you want to know how to create your own GIF in WhatsApp without downloading any other application? Here we explain it to you.
The first thing to do is get hold of the latest beta or test version of WhatsApp on Android , where this option has already been included. Until it's released in the final version, for all users, it's the only method to create our own GIFs in the app of chats To do this you have to sign up for the program betatester or WhatsApp tests in the Google Play Store The step is really simple. Just go to Google Play Store and search for WhatsApp On the download screen, almost at the bottom, there is a section to include yourself in this program After accepting, all you have to do is wait several minutes until you are in the program. After that it will be possible to download the most recent beta or test version, where this application is located. All this from the same download page of Google Play Store
Next is to use WhatsApp regularly to share a video. In this way we access a chat, group or normal, click on the clip icon and we access the camera. Here you have to select the option Record video and shoot a short movie. Since our goal is to create a GIF of just a few seconds, a video of 10 seconds or more will suffice.
The key question comes when it is time to share it. And it is that, in the editing screen, where it is possible to shorten it, a new button has now been included. This appears in the upper right corner in the form of a camera video when any of the edit bars are moved. When pressed, the button changes to display the GIF iconThis also makes WhatsApp select six seconds of the video, which will be the maximum duration of the animationThe nice thing is that the user can choose which six seconds of the video will make up the GIF by moving the markers at the bottom. Of course, always making sure that the icon in the upper right corner does not change to that of the video, something that happens as soon as the aforementioned six seconds of maximum duration are exceeded.
With this, all that remains is to send the GIF created. This appears on the chat screen as an animated image, without the need to click on it to play it. A whole step forward in the goal of including GIFs in conversations on WhatsApp
Of course, at the moment it is not possible to send links from platforms such as Giphy where GIF are collected all types.For the moment, we will have to be satisfied with the possibility of creating WhatsApp, although the process can be somewhat tedious on the first attempt. The good thing is that we can create animated selfies and other elements of our own.
