Popular photo-sharing platform Instagram, owned by Meta, has rolled out a new feature that allows users to comment on Instagram posts with animated GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format). Users can now search for and share Giphy GIFs in the comment stream, giving them another option to respond to Instagram posts.
With the introduction of GIF comments on Instagram, users can now add GIFs as a reaction to a post, adding a touch of creativity and humor to their comments. This feature opens up a whole new range of possibilities for users to engage with the content coming to the platform.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to comment on an Instagram post with a GIF:
– Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and navigate to the post you want to comment on.
– Tap the comment section below the post to bring up the keyboard.
– You will find GIF icon on the right side.
– Tap on GIF button to access GIF library.
– Browse through the wide variety of GIFs available or use the search bar to find a specific GIF that best matches your reaction or mood.
– When you find the right GIF, tap on it to select it.
– The selected GIF will now appear as a comment below the post.
– You can add additional text if you want.
– Tap the “Post” button to submit your comment with GIF.
It’s important to note that the availability of GIF comments may vary depending on the version of the Instagram app you’re using. Make sure to keep your app updated to the latest version to use this feature.
And if you’ve accidentally selected the wrong GIF to comment on on Instagram, there’s no way to edit it. However, you can quickly delete the comment and send one with the correct GIF.
