Introducing GIF search on Twitter
Yesterday, Twitter Inc. introduced a GIF search on its platform.
According to Twitter Inc., Last year, people on Twitter shared over 100 million GIFs expressing everything from their mood, to their favorite dance move from a music video, to their pranks and much more. Now, sharing GIFs in Tweets and Direct Messages is even easier with the new GIF search.
Whenever you’re composing a Tweet or Direct Message, you can search and browse the GIF library. So if you’re looking for the perfect dance move to express exactly how you feel or that prank you liked most, just click on the new GIF button.
