You’ll need to utilise one of Instagram’s built-in keyboards to send GIFS and animated stickers using the direct message tool. By pressing the smiling face symbol in the message box after starting a new discussion or accessing an existing private chat thread, you may access the GIF and sticker keyboards.
Instagram will immediately send the image to your buddy once you pick and touch the GIF you want. Sending GIFs through direct messaging on Instagram’s desktop site is now unavailable; instead, users must use the iOS or Android applications.
