It's been a *number* of weeks since I last used GifBuddy but was messing around with it yesterday on an old Android phone and noticed a peculiarity. I used to be able to tap and hold a GIF, select 'Share Image', and then select an app to share the GIF in (as opposed to just dumping a link).
But when I went through the usual procedure to send a GIF to a chat group (on the Line app), and it only came through as a static image instead of being animated. Earlier this morning, I started to mess around with other apps: Telegram, Plus Messenger (an unofficial Telegram app), Signal, etc. The problem persisted everywhere but Signal.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a quirk of those particular apps? Is there anyway to fix this?
