Can I Add Audio to GIFs? How to Share Animated GIFs With Audio

Stickers, emojis, and GIFs are very popular among users, both from social networks and messaging applications. These serve to express without a single word a feeling or whatever. Until now, we could only share GIFs without audio, but the content platform Giphy has announced that from now on, you can share GIFs with audio. We will tell you how:

So you can send GIFs integrated with audio

One of the most popular GIF search engines and databases has been working on the option to send GIFs with audio. For now, it has achieved it through the URLs of the video. To share these sound gifs, you have to download and install the GIPHY application, which is available for Android phones and iPhones.

  • You can share the links and the videos through the application itself. For this, you have to enter GIPHY. Among the available categories, choose Clip.
  • Find the GIF you want to send among those available.
  • Click on the icon of the paper plane to display the menu in which you can choose the application you want to send or copy the link to paste it later and send in another application.
  • The receiver will receive a link with the URL so that they can play it, as well as a thumbnail with the video preview.

Although there is an easier way to share it, you can also share the links through your Android phone’s keyboard. For this, you must first change the settings of your phone and enable the GIPHY keyboard. Activating it is very simple:

You have two options to activate the keyboard. Use the settings of the application itself or do it through the phone settings.

  • To activate it from the application, open your profile by pressing the icon at the bottom right of the screen.
  • And once you access it, click in the upper right corner of it on the cogwheel icon to access the settings.
  • Among the options is “Set Up Keyboard.” Click on the arrow to start the process.
  • Follow the instructions of the wizard to select from here the “Giphy Keyboard” keyboard to choose this as the default and click on finish to start using it.

From Phone

To activate it from the phone settings, enter this option from the application drawer, and in the search bar, type “current keyboard.” To enter the menu again in the current keyboard option, display the options and select “Giphy Keyboard.”

Once activated, enter the application from which you want to share the sound GIFs. You should also click on the text bar to activate the keyboard. Again, click on ” Search” on the left side of the keyboard to search for the GIF you want to send. In the search result, you will see that those that include sound on the right side of each preview show a small speaker icon. In this way, you can recognize which of these popular video clips include sound or not.
