What are GIFs?

​GIFs are animated pictures – send them as a 'file' attachment (not as a photo) if you want them to be playable.

You can use our built-in GIF search or the @gif inline bot​: try typing '@gif cats' in the message field. The bot will then offer you GIFs relevant to your search term, in this case, 'cats'!

You can also reuse GIFs that you get from your friends: tap on them and select 'Save'. Then you can find them in the dedicated GIF tab in the stickers panel.

On top of that, if you record a video in Telegram and tap the 'mute' button, you can share it as a looped autoplayed GIF.

To contact Telegram support, go to Settings, and scroll down until you see the 'Ask a Question' button at the bottom.
