Gifs have
become one of my favorite ways to communicate emotion when text messaging my
friends. A gif is a short video loop, often from a movie, tv show, or Youtube
video that conveys a certain expression. You’ve likely seen them in blog posts
and email newsletters, adding comic relief or emotional depth. But what if you
come across a gif online that you want to save? You can! Here’s how to save
gifs.
Let’s
say you’re browsing the web and come across a gif you want to save,
·
Tap
and hold the image.
·
A
box will pop up with the option to Save Image or Copy.
·
Tap
Save Image.
·
Navigate
to your Photos app.
·
The
image will appear as a still photo in your Photos app, however, when you go to
send that image via Messages or by Mail, it will come back to life.
