Oh my gosh... Thank you! I was so tired of seeing 'maximum file size reached' when trying to send a gif or video message. This fixed all of that!

I am so glad someone on here knows what they're doing

Thanks Brett. Great video. I have been texting in family group chat and was wondering how they were inserting gifs/memes. Now I know how to.

I was on the phone to samsung smart tutor no less than 45 minutes and THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT !!! THANKS TO YOU...NOW I HAVE GIFS ON MY PHONE! THANKS!

Does it delete the old messages you have prior to downloading the apps? Or do the old text messages roll over into the new app?

Thank you! I have been looking all over for this! Thank you for making a clear and straightforward video.

Thanks! Couldn't get gboard-gif to work with the default SMS app on phone. Didn't realize I needed another app.

[TaleaBloom]

That's great. Still doesn't explain why gifs won't attach to my texts.

[jbassc]

Is the android messages needed or can i just install the g board to my phone text.

[marunomi]

This is a really powerful meme tool. I wonder why no one in my WhatsApp group abuses this.

This has made my day a lot brighter!! Bravo kind sir.

[lorirogers]

Thank you! Your "How to" video was perfect and easy to understand!

[pugdreams]

This saved me from having to explain to my grandmother how to use gifs on her Android (I have an iPhone)

[tipj]

AWESOME!!!! So glad I found this. It drives me nuts going back and forth adding gifs to messages.

[gregarious]

Thanks for the video, very helpful. One comment though: it's a gif, not a jif. It's a 'Graphic interchange format', not a brand of peanut butter.

[MsAngel]

I'm not tech savvy at ALL, but your video was so easy to follow and I had no problem following your instructions. Thank you from a middle-aged Mom in Canada! Now, on to the world of teting :)

I already had both aps on my phone, so I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work...switched the messaging from vzn messaging to the Droid one & worked fine!!! Thanks!
