The GIF GIF GIF Blog

You know that Loverboy song “Working For The Weekend,” from the 80s? Kind of sums up GIF GIF GIF last week.

ICYMI, late last Friday we released our 3.0 version of everybody’s favorite GIF app. We loaded this version with updates and new features for a fantastic GIF-ing experience. Here’s a breakdown of what we added into this brand spanking new version.

Collections
The crown jewel of our 3.0 update, and the feature we’re most excited to build into the app. We knew how much you guys loved favoriting and saving GIFs so that they were always ready to share. The idea was to build a feature where you could organize, sort, share, and follow the GIFs you love. Simply put, we built Collections to make favoriting GIFs even more fun, easy, and creative.

Whether you want a collection of your favorite sports teams or of dogs being weird, you can get as crazy as you want with collections. Organize and save GIFs however you see fit, and still have them ready to share - both through our app and keyboard. We’ve also added in the ability to follow collections, both created by us and your fellow GIFers.

Because of this ability to get creative with collections, we wanted create a space in our app where we can showcase your work for all to see. The result is the new Featured Collections portion of our home screen, showcasing the best (and weirdest) collections you guys create. So get to work!

Profiles
To ensure you never lose those glorious GIF collections, we added in optional user profiles. No crazy profile images, headers, or “about me” sections for this - we just wanted something quick and easy so you could focus on what really matters: the GIFs!

The Rest of the Goodies
Outside of the major collections feature, we wanted to add little details and bug fixes to enhance the GIF GIF GIF experience. Like our new gif3.me share url; making sure friends and followers can get in on the GIF GIF GIF fun. The link will take them to a  custom share page, just for your GIF or Collection.

The keyboard also got tuned up for better performance, and we added in our brand spanking new collections feature so that all your GIFs are ready. While most GIF apps or keyboards are picking one or the other, we’re more of a “why not both,” kind of app.

It’s been a blast working on this version, and we’re super excited to see how you use collections to keep your favorite GIFs ready.

Now here’s your GIF Tax.
