Iff you have specific GIFs you like to use when talking about sporting events, news, politics, or technology, or you use certain GIFs on a constant basis to smack talk with your friends, packs are the answer for you. This not only includes any images within Tenor’s database but also those that you create. Other updates include the introduction of sticker packs, meaning that you can save your favorite GIFs, organize them into groups, and share them with friends and family. Another element from Snapchat that’s being brought in is the ability to draw on and caption GIFs - find an image that works for you and edit it with text, a handwritten note, or a drawing.
The company said this offering will be available in the next week or so. Tenor will also be bringing Snapchat-like filters to iMessage, meaning that you will soon be able insert yourself into a select GIF. Just tap the camera button to activate and capture up to 6 seconds that can be shared anywhere you want. If you’re having a conversation in iMessage and can’t find the image or words to express how you feel, why not quickly create your own GIF? Instead of having the complex workflow of opening up multiple apps, Tenor does it all within iMessage. This means it won’t show you the same images or even reaction categories that your friends have - the selection is tailored to you.Īs part of this move toward greater personalization, Tenor now lets you use the iPhone’s front or rear-facing camera to create GIFs - just like Instagram’s Boomerang app does. However, Tenor also utilizes a learning algorithm to surface the right image - using its “telescoping search” and “did-you-mean” suggestion feature - so the more you use GIFs, the smarter it becomes.
And since iMessage is a communication app, giving users greater freedom to express their feelings through GIFs is important - a picture is worth a thousand words, after all.Īdding the Tenor extension to iOS 10’s iMessage app gives you the ability to add GIFs to any conversation, as you would with Giphy. Apple has yet to reveal iMessage usage, but opening the platform up to third-party developers helps it remain competitive against Facebook, Kik, WeChat, and Line - all of which have launched a platform for their respective messaging apps.
