Introducing GIF Stickers

Now you can add fun, expressive GIF stickers to any photo or video in your story.

When you tap to add a sticker to a photo or video in stories, you’ll now see a new GIF option. Tap it to open a library full of hundreds of thousands of moving stickers powered by GIPHY. You can browse what’s currently trending on GIPHY or search their extensive collection to find a sticker for just about anything. From bouncing letters and twirling hearts to dancing cats and pizza in space, these animated stickers help you make any photo or video funny, interesting or creative.

Any extra room will be filled with a custom color gradient that matches what you’ve shared.
