Users only had the ability to search for specific users or groups they are a part of.
The search feature was introduce for its iOS app in 2019.
Twitter announce that users on iOS will now be able to capture GIFs from the in-app camera.
You can share GIFs by clicking on the new tweet button, tap the photo icon, then the camera icon, make sure to select the GIF mode, and then press and hold the record button.
At the moment, there doesn’t seem to be an option to share the GIFs off the platform.
Twitter only allows users to share a link to the GIF, signifying that there is no option to save the GIF on a computer or a smartphone.
