If you’re an Android user and you want to make your texting more fun and engaging, this guide is for you. In this post, we’ll show you how to send GIFs in your text messages using the Google keyboard on your Galaxy S8.
First, head over to the Google Play Store and download two applications: Google keyboard (G board) and Android messages. These two applications ensure that everything will run smoothly and make it easy to send GIFs.
Once Android messages is installed, open it and set it as your default text messaging application. Then, change the keyboard on your phone to the G board. To do this, go to the home screen, click on the G board, and enable it in settings. Next, select the input method and change it from the Samsung keyboard to the G board.
After setting up the G board, you can start a message and click on the emoji icon. This will give you the option to select a GIF. You can also search for a specific GIF by typing in the search bar. Once you find the GIF you want to send, click on it and hit send.
If your recipients have an Android or an iPhone, they should be able to see the GIFs in their messaging application. If not, they need to download the Android messaging app.
And that’s it! Now you know how to send GIFs in your text messages using the Google keyboard on your Galaxy S8. If you have any questions, drop a comment below.
