"Any avid reader of this site knows I am a bit obsessed with animated GIFs, so when Kate Cushing, a product manager at Google for Google+ announced on, ummmm, Google+ that the iOS Hangouts app now supports animated GIFs, I took notice.I rarely use Google+ on my iPhone, I do use it on Google Glass.  But who knows, maybe I'll use it more.  The new features include many of the Android features and a bit more, including:See which of your friends is using Hangouts, and who can be reached right now\r\nCall phone numbers from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (free to the US and Canada)\r\nMake and receive calls using your Google Voice number\r\nSend and receive animated GIFs that play inline\r\nHangouts will temporarily turn down your music (instead of stopping it) when you receive an incoming messageHere is how the animated GIF looks like in the iOS app:Fun!Forum discussion at Google+."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
