Create and Customize Your Own GIFs with Tenor’s Update for iOS 10!
iOS 10 is about to open up a whole new landscape for visual expression, giving people access to apps within iMessage that allow them to seamlessly add a visual layer to the messages they send. With iOS 10’s release today, Tenor is thrilled to announce a new update to our GIF Keyboard that expands on our ability to bring visual expression to conversations. We’ve evolved Tenor to be the starting point for your every thought, emotion, and feeling, helping you express exactly what’s on your mind, like never before.
Here’s What’s New with iOS 10:
- Create Your Own GIFs: With Tenor’s iOS 10 update, you can now create your own GIFs with your front or back facing camera — just tap the camera button to activate!
- Personalize GIFs with Captions & Drawings: Make your GIFs more you. Personalize your captured GIFs with text, a handwritten note or drawings.
- Turn GIFs into Stickers: Press and hold on any GIF — even the ones you have captured with your camera — and select a portion of it to create a sticker that you can drag and drop onto any message — text, image or GIF — within iMessage.
- Save GIFs and Stickers in Packs: Create packs of your favorite GIFs and stickers that you can easily share with friends and family. Packs can be created around shared interests like football season or Storks, or around groups of contacts like your coworkers, roommates, or family. Packs let you create your own private visual language, shared just with your groups.
Tap into the Power of GIF Keyboard:
- The Right GIF at the Right Time: Tenor’s telescoping search and “Did-You-Mean” suggestions will make it even easier to refine your search and discover just the right GIF to match the feeling you are trying to express. “Smile” doesn’t quite cut it when you really want to express “smirk” or “laughing smile.”
- Personalize Your Keyboard: Easily favorite GIFs and add them to packs. Favorited GIFs will appear right at the top of your search results. The more you use Tenor, the more personalized your visual language becomes.
- Take GIF Keyboard Everywhere: The GIFs and stickers you make or favorite sync to your GIF Keyboard, so you can use them everywhere GIFs are supported.
Tenor has built the largest mobile GIF sharing audience in the world and, with this update for iOS 10, our more than 150 million monthly users will have even more opportunities to create, personalize, and share visual expression. These enhancements to our app are all part of bringing to life our vision to help you express exactly what’s on your mind and we will unveil more details over the coming months. We look forward to hearing your feedback and seeing the GIFs and stickers you make!
