It&#x27;s also worth noting that regardless of which keyboard or combination of apps you&#x27;re using on Android, it&#x27;s not possible to send an animated GIF as an MMS attachment without dropping so many frames that the clip becomes essentially unwatchable.<p>If you&#x27;re sending a Hangouts message (Google account to Google account) it works just fine. Otherwise, even if you roll all your SMS&#x2F;MMS activity into the Hangouts app, no dice.
