Trying to make a gif

Trying to make and send a gif in messenger. I go through the steps and it tells me GIF failed to load retry or cancel. I have retried and canceled several times and even power down my phone.

Is there a setting I am missing or is there something wrong with GIF in messenger?

GIFs sure are great to send, Mboom , and, believe me I’ve sent a lot in my days. However I’ve never undertaken the task of creating one. Tell us, what is the app you are using to make it?

Also as to why it’s not sending, potentially it could be too large of a file. How big is the .GIF file size?

I apologize for posting my questions here, but I can't find where to add a new (related) question.

so that would be my first question:)

Question 1. I have an S7 Edge and I used to be able to create a gif right in the Verizon text messaging app. I could tap the plus sign and the option would be "create a gif".

Can you tell me where this went?

Question 2: if I want to take a picture and attach it in Messages, I don't want to have to then select "Take a picture" or "record a video"., after I tap the camera in messages. Can "take a picture" be set as a default?

Thank you

pjb157,

We want you to get the most out of our Verizon Messages App and your attachment options. Let's get this figured out. What happens now when you select the plus sign inside of your Verizon Messages App? Unfortunately, setting "take a picture" is not an option that can be set as a default.

when I tap the plus sign, the usual options display. (camera,gallery,recent pics, places,egifts,yahoo search, collage, and more) I used to be able to tap on the camera. and then one of the options was to "create a gif" It is not there anymore. It says "what do you want to do? Take a photo/ record a video. The option to create a gif is gone.

thank you

We want you to be able to enjoy all the feature the Galaxy S7 Edge has to offer. How long ago did the issues start? Were there any changes to the phone around that time (updates, new apps)?

I have finally solved this dilemma. Although not ideal, you have to

1)save the gif to your phone then

2)share it as you would an image from your gallery.
