How to send GIF files with WhatsApp

How to send GIF files with WhatsApp, as we all know until now it is not possible to send GIF files with WhatsApp. But this is just a thing of the past because now WhatsApp allows you to send GIF files directly into the application to anyone.


WhatsApp released a big update today and introduced like Snapchat the inclusion of doodles and you can add colorful text and emojis to any image before sending it, just like Snapchat.



It also introduced the flash for the front camera, so as to ensure excellent photos even in low light conditions. The new version of WhatsApp also introduced video zoom when recording from the built-in camera. All the features mentioned above are available to the public from today.

But one thing is still missing in this update, sending GIF files. But luckily, after so many years, WhatsApp has finally introduced the sending of GIFs in its latest beta update.

After installing the APK file, select any GIF file from your gallery and send it as a regular image file.
