How do gifs work?

[Amit Mishra3]

I'm on the latest build n I had heard that on the last build(---72) gifs worked. I downloaded/saved a gif from 9gag but it saved as jpeg n all i can see is a still image in saved folder...am i doing something wrong? The thing i did works on android... Do we have to separately download a gif on pc, move it to phone then it'll work?

I'm not sure if you can save gifs as gifs, haven't tried it still. Though, gifs do work in the photos app.

Okk means there's still no way to save gif as gif...

Try right clicking --> open with --> web browser of your choice

It does need to be a gif, but some photo viewers won't animate them.

I hadn't seen that site before, but all of the "gifs" I looked at there seem to be showing as MP4 video clips for me . Try a site like Search Animated GIFs on the Web - Giphy if you are just looking for test material.

I was talking in terms of mobile... 9gag is a website but also an app on wp.. Downloading gifs on pc then moving them to phone wouldn't be worth it.. Too much work for gifs...

Save gif from? Web browser? Like edge or uc browser? It would have been grt if we could save from apps like 9gag.

I tried from edge. If you're trying to save a gif from an app, the developer has to allow it first.
