Meta (formerly Facebook) is rolling out the ability to comment on Instagram posts with animated GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format).

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri announced that users can now post GIFs in Instagram comments during a broadcast channel chat with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, reports Engadget.

“It’s a bit of an ‘eventually feature,’ but we’re launching GIFs today in the comments,” Mosseri told Zuckerberg.

GIFs in Instagram comments are available in the latest version of the app.

Furthermore, Mosseri also said that Instagram is testing lyrics in Reels as well.

As per the report, the feature builds on the auto-caption sticker meta introduced in 2021.

Based on the screenshots shared by Mosseri, the report states that a timeline at the bottom of the interface will allow users to properly sync captions.

Meanwhile, Instagram has announced new features on its short-video making app to empower creators.

The social network has added a dedicated destination for trending audio and hashtags, two new metrics for Reels Insights, and brought Gifts to Reels to more countries.
