Now Instagram has GIF stickers! Rejoice!

I've been avoiding the update, but now I'll do it!

The new feature is part of the Instagram version 29 update, which rolled out on Jan. 23 to all iOS and Android devices. The GIF stickers can be added to any still photo, video, or boomerang in the Instagram app, and you can share them in your stories as well as download and save them for later. "From bouncing letters and twirling hearts to dancing cats and pizza in space, these animated stickers help you make any photo or video funny, interesting or creative," Instagram announced in a blog post, noting that the feature will allow users to tap into GIPHY's massive library of GIFs to find the exact right one that lights up a photo or video. 

They also made the announcement that soon you won't have to crop a photo to make it work as a story. "In the coming weeks, we're also rolling out the ability to upload photos and videos of any size to your story, so you never have to lose part of a photo or cut a friend out of a group video," the post reads. "When you upload a photo or video, pinch to share it in its original dimensions, whether it's square, portrait or landscape. Any extra room will be filled with a custom color gradient that matches what you've shared."

Step 1. Take a picture or video and then swipe up. Step 2. Hit the one that says GIF with a microphone. 

Step 3. Select the gif you want or if you want to use one from GIFY, just type in what you're looking for in the search box. 

BOOM!
