About time tbh.
You might have noticed that we like GIFs at PopBuzz.
Like, a lot.
Well we like Twitter too, but it hasn't always been easily compatible with GIFs, especially for mobile.
But the dog days are over! Twitter is now rolling out (as of yesterday) a new GIF function for mobile devices. In partnership with GIPHY, users can now click the 'GIF' button and search the entire GIPHY library for the picture reaction GIF.
One GIF can truly speak a thousand words...
Tweeters are throwing themselves into the new function like a Tumblr addict on a all night John Cena binge.
YASSS!
