In texting? No. I've already asked around extensively and got a solid answer on this. Disappointing to be sure.
Indeed... Something as simple as native GIF playback in both messaging and the photos hub (and well, across the entire OS, really...) would be a simple yet huge feature.
Would it grab headlines? Of course not. But it'd be s small and welcome change, that'd impact users is a subtle way.
Yeah. I send a ton of gifs to my friends, and they send me a ton as well. Granted, this is from an iPhone. But this one feature, despite being so small, is something that might hold me back. I have a 920 and a 1020 sitting on my desk, but I just don't know if I can use WP yet because of a couple small inconveniences like this. With as popular as gifs are right now all over the internet, this should be a no brainer.
Anyone know if we will finally get native GIF support with 8.1?
Guess we'll know Monday. :/
Thought its not coming out till June
