Hi rgk1982,
Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other.
.gif is an image file format.
It is similar to .jpg or .jpeg, .bmp, and .png, but .gif is usually a smaller file size than .jpeg.
It seems you can import .gif images ok into iPhone in Messages and in Pages., and even animated .gifs into Photos.
It is possible you are not seeing the .gif displayed at the end of the filename (called a file extension).
Apple Support have an article online:
It says (eg.) you can save a .GIF received in messages to Photos
Send and save GIFs on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you want more info:
Here's a link to an overview of the Photos app on iPhone 11

PS: Oops ... Apologies,
Sorry : the iOS11 user guide was mistakenly listed above:
overview of Photos App in iOS14 is

the iPhone User Guide for iOS14 is

Still lots to learn
Cheers :)
