How to share GIFs on Signal with GIPHY
If you want to add more fun to your conversations on Signal, you can send GIFs through GIPHY. You can select from the wide array of popular GIFs and share them with your group or private chats on the app.
You can send GIFs whether you’re using the Signal app on your phone or computer. In our tutorials below, we’ll show you the the steps to do so on both devices.
On your Android device:
- Open the Signal app from your app drawer and sign in to your account using your number.

- Head to the GIF tab, look for the one you want to share, and select it.
- Check the GIF and tap the paper plane icon to share it in the conversation.
That’s how you use GIPHY on the Signal mobile app. You can send GIFs to all your conversations, whether it’s a group or a private one.
You can send GIFs as a view once message on the Signal mobile app. Once you do, slack automatically clears it after the receiver opens the file on their end.
