How To Post GIFs On IG Threads

Firstly, it's important to note that some users may have problems posting GIFs to Threads. We can't confirm if this is due to a lack of native support or compatibility with certain devices. However, our best guess is that the feature is likely experiencing a few teething issues.

That said, we're sure Meta will have things figured out soon. Here's how to post a GIF to IG Threads:

  • Launch the Threads by Instagram app on your Android or Apple iOS device.
  • Tap the icon to start a new thread.
  • Press the file icon to upload a GIF from your device gallery, or press the smile icon on your keyboard app to search for a GIF from an integrated image library like Giphy.
  • Select the GIF you want to post
  • Add a caption (if any)
  • Press the "Post" button to post your GIF to Threads.

If you are having issues posting a GIF, don't worry. Meta will probably iron out these issues in a future update. A suitable workaround would be to convert the GIF into MP4 format and upload it as a video file instead.

Tip: If you are uploading a GIF from your device's gallery, ensure that the file you want to upload is a dynamic GIF image.
