How to Add GIF's to Whatsapp GIF selection

[Lord Tyrion]

Okay, bored at work. I do like a comedy GIF and sometimes the ones on Whatsapp are not enough. You can search, not entirely sure how but occasionally like a chimp at a typewriter I hit the correct buttons, and find a wider range. I would then like to save those in to the whatsapp directory or whatever it is called so that next time I don't have to search other than in the sections already there. Any one know how to do this? I have tried Google but I either can't find it or the tech speak is beating me. I'm on Adroid by the way if that makes a difference.

I can't help with the WhatsApp side of things but I use the Giphy app and you can create an account which allows you to 'favourite' GIF's. It means they're all sorted in the one place and you just click to copy and paste into your WhatsApp message.

How do you do that? Assume I know nothing when you explain, not far wrong when it comes to Whatsapp and gifs.

I don't think you can do that. You just have to search for it again and hope it's still there.

Another thing mine has though, I've installed the Google Keyboard which I use instead of the default one, and if you have that it has a different button for emojis next to the spacebar, and after you click that there's a tab for gifs, which is a completely separate directory. And on here it actually saves the ones you used recently for quick access to use them again.
