First animated GIF keyboard approved by Apple for iOS devices

“Since the launch of iOS 8 last week, there’s been a huge run on custom keyboards in the App Store,” Ryan Lawler reports for TechCrunch. “That includes the likes of Swype, Fleksy and SwiftKey, all of which have been designed to help users more quickly type and share what they are thinking.”

“But what if they want to share what they are feeling? For that, there’s no better tool than the animated GIF,” Lawler reports. “And now, thanks to a company called Riffsy Inc. [GIF Keyboard], you can quickly and easily search for, discover and share a wide variety of animated GIFs directly from your keyboard.”

Lawler reports, “The app [GIF Keyboard]leverages a collection of millions of GIFs that the company’s users have created or shared with the Riffsy Creator app over the past year. And because those GIFs are usually tagged and identified with specific hashtags like #HAPPY, #EXCITED, or #LOL, it’s easy to find an image that suits your needs.”
