Through the new feature, Instagram users will be able to search for GIFs from GIPHY and reply to a post using them as a comment.
Earlier, Instagram allowed users to post GIF stickers to stories, but not on the comments section.
Users simply need to tap the “add comment” button on an Instagram post and then tap the GIF button to search for and select a GIF from the app’s extensive library.
Users can also browse for and select trending GIFs, or use the search bar to enter a keyword and find a specific GIF to match their comment.
