Today I want to talk about Giphy. Or maybe some of you call it “Jiffy”. But I say “animated gif” so I’m going to call the app Giphy. This app is available on both Android and iOS. According to the developer’s description, Giphy is the world’s largest library of animated GIFs, now on your mobile phone!
The app was updated on September 1st to include a new stories feature. Giphy says “Whether it’s a TV recap, sports highlight, or viral internet meme, Giphy is bringing you the lowdown on what’s happening in culture now. Check it out on the new home screen.
Well, I did check it out, and found the feature to be pretty similar to stories in Snapchat or Instagram. A series of animated gifs play in succession, and they can have captions below. So, as the name implies, the new feature does have the potential to tell more of a story than a single gif alone.
And that’s What’s Updated, presented by VisionaryDigitalMedia.com.
