The popular Social media network Facebook has announced that it has added
GIF(Graphics Interchange Format) support in it's News Feed.However you may not be able to see the added functionality as this update is still rolled out.
To try the new GIF feature, Facebook users have to embed a link from an external website such as Giphy,Tumblr,or elsewhere, into their status update box and then hit publish. You cannot upload the GIF directly to Facebook, as it won’t work.
Once the users hit publish, the GIFs will auto-play on the Facebook with your current video autoplay settings. If you choose to disable autoplay in your settings, it will show a small circle with “GIF” on it, which can be used like a play/pause button.
When Twitter rolled out its support for GIFs last summer, Facebook did not move from its stand. Facebook is one of the last social networks to provide support for GIFs to automatically play.
