IPhone :: Any Limitations For Sending Animated GIFs In IMessages?
Apr 25, 2012
What is the deal with animated GIFs via iMessages on the iPhone? Does it work? Is it supposed to? Are there any limitations? I tried sending an animated gif to a friend. Both of us are using an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1. On my end, I see the animation playing on the iMessages app. On her end she just receives a still frame. Why?
I tried it two different ways. First I tried it by simply copying the image from Safari and pasting it into the message. Then I tried it by saving the image to my camera roll and adding it to the message that way. Neither worked. Both times I could see the animation on my end, but the recipient only saw a still image.
With the photo improvements, know if iOS 8 will natively show animated GIFs? I know on iOS 7, it will store them fine, but to view the animation you have to "pretend" you're going to send them in a Message or an Email.Â
For the last couple of days when sending text to my friends who are also iPhone users my messages Have a sending delay. My phone will make the sent sound & then under the text it will say sent as Text Message. I have all bars and on wifi?
Not sure what's going on but my iPhone isn't sending iMessages. It worked fine on Saturday. I received an iMessage as a "text" and can't return messages.
I noticed, that lately, when sending i-messages they did not arrive, but later suddenly appeared on whatsapp on the receivers phonê or old messages were loaded.
Today imesssage stopped working for one of my contacts.. It was working just fine yesterday.. When i try send an i message it just comes up 'Not delivered!' Straight away..its the same for the person im trying to text .. I tried switching off imessage and turning it back on it hasnt worked...?
I don't know what's happened, but for some reason my iPhone 5 has stopped sending iMessages to my boyfriend (the person I iMessage the most), it simply just says 'delivered' on my iPhone but they're not actually sending to him. It's working perfectly fine for everyone else.Â
I've reset my network settings and still nothing, what else can I do? Switch off iMessage and back on again? Not being able to text (iMessage) him is going to be a problem.Â
Why in iMessage my phone keeps sent a regular text message and not an iMessage? Also my keypad is very delayed When typing? Why is it not sending and delaying.
I've tried going to settings, messages, then receive at, but it says error next to my phone number. I tried signing out of my apple ID and it just turned imessaging off all together
for the past five days my iphone 5 has been acting funny. My friend called me three times before I actually heard a ring and picked up. He told me that he kept calling, but I wasn't hearing anything. Afterwards, when I looked at my phone history, it says I had indeed missed a bunch of calls. The next day he tells me the same thing, except with Facetime. When I look at my history, it says "Facetime answered on another advice." It says this multiple times, especially when I do not hear my phone ringing. I do not have facetime on any other device besides my iphone 5.Â
At first I thought it meant that my phone was just acting weird and that the place I was at had no signal at all, hence why it took my friend three tries to reach me. But then the weirdest thing happened. Yesterday, my friend called me while I was driving. I wasn't picking up so he called again. When I got home, I called him back. Everything was fine. But when I looked at my imessage history with this said friend, it showed a message I never even sent! It was in English, but I definitely am sure I never sent that text at that time because 1 - I was driving & I knew where I was during that exact time and 2 - I don't even text that way!Â
This is odd. My phone is always physically with me and my phone is NOT jailbroken. I know it's not a glitch because after my phone sent that text message, I had a feeling my phone was being hacked or something! I just changed my icloud password, does that do anything? If someone has access, will it stop now that my password is changed? Do I take it to the Genius Bar?
So this question is actually about my friends iPhone 4... She and I text on a daily basis and we use iMessages. As of two days ago, every time I sent her an iMessage, it would fail and I would have to send it as a text message. Well we finally figured out it was because her iMessages were turned off (probably by her 2 year old daughter.) So she turned them back on and she sent me an imessage. But when she sent the imessage and I received it, I received the message from her apple id, not her phone number which is what I normally receive her messages from. Her and I can't figure out how to change it back to her phone number..
I have a Windows 7 PC with a folder full of .gifs. When I go to sync them onto my iPhone 6, they won't work when I try to send them via iMessage. Did they change it so you can't send it anymore or is there a specific way?
just want to try this. can i ssh an animated wallpaper? or do i need an app to run it...if ssh, where does the file go (and what does it need to be named)? new to theming the iphone (an old hand at this on the mac!)
Are there any plan to allow iphones to have an animated wallpaper, i used to have them on my Sony Ericsson and would love them on my iphone 4 (and whatever iphone comes next!)
I bought a new HTC ONE M8 and I can't send any gifs to my friends because they don't play for them, and I've tried Google hangout in which I can see the gif I sent playing and the gif they sent playing but on their phone they don't see my gifs playing.
I am totally confused about sending gifs to non-android phones. I have sent gifs to 2 diff people both with iphone4, one can get my gifs animated and one just gets it as a still, same freakin phone. so its gotta be a setting thing.
My newly acquired Z5 compact wont play videos anymore. Youtube works fine, but videos sent to me on facebook messenger and videos online wont work (GIFs etc.)
There is no choice of call forwarding options in the N900. For example one can't forward all calls unconditionally to voicemail or another number and leave your phone on. This is the least expensive option when roaming if you want to leave your phone on, because it doesn't involve paying for two calls when a call is diverted to voicemail. If you have call forwarding on, you can't stop it from forwarding calls received while busy speaking on another call. I prefer people to get a busy tone. GSM standard manual forwarding codes (eg *#21#) produce an error message - incorrect number.
I am considering purchasing a BB Tour 9630.I use the Notes field of MS Outlook contacts extensively.Some of my notes per contact are over 10,000 characters in length.My Palm Treo 700p allows me to view/edit these long notes.Can the notes field of the BB contact manager handle this many characters or will it be truncated to a shorter length? I am a small operation not using an Exchange Server.Also, do I need any other device software than what comes with the BB to sync with my PC's local Outlook PST?
I've been receiving fowarded messages on a day to day basis and it always cuts out after a paragraph or two. Can anybody shed some light onto this problem I've been having. I believe it might be the network I'm on, or is it something else.

My old SE W580i, has alot functionality for customising a phone, one of these is running a animated GIF, the Xperia X10 has not, hopefully this was a error in oversight, and that it will be resolved in the updated android software of 2.1, I hope so, as this is just basic function that is now common place, so not to have it is bad press for SE, especially on a handset that is supposed to be to be super dooper!lso rather than starting another thread with every silly mistake SE have made with the Xperia X10, is basic function of applying individual message tones of what ever you wanted, to your contacts list, of course we have handcent, but the point is SE should have these functions as standard, which is probably why people enjoy the SE phones because of their CUSTOMISATION to
When trying to remove the Animated SMS application from application manager on my C5-03, I get the message "File could not be removed" and then nothing is removed. How can I remove this application ?
