#InsertingGifs

On an Android:
You can insert gifs by going to your emoji icon (next to the space bar). Along the bottom, you will see "gif". Choose that. [See image below for an example.]

Then you can search for a gif. When you find one you want to insert, just tap it once. You might not see it, because it might be hidden behind the gif examples in your search. Don't worry.

The gif examples will not go away until you tap on your phone's "back" button. Once you do, you should see your gif.

I'm told there are other ways to do it, but this is the one I know best.

(Also, don't forget to use hashtags, so people can find your posts. There is no algorithm here, like there is on Twitter, to push things into your feed.)
