How to post GIFs on Facebook in a practical and mobile way

The Facebook app gives you access to fun GIFs, with direct searches on the Giphy mobile collection. However, many users do not know the feature, since it gets a button barely visible in the social network interface. The search for specific GIFs can be done through series titles, movies, description of actions or feelings, with keywords in Portuguese.

Animated images can be published directly to your timeline, in groups or in the profile of friends, in a simple way and with personalized caption. Make sure your Android smartphone has the most up-to-date version of the Facebook app before following the walkthrough.
