New iphone 13 (ios 15.2.1) will not send gifs

I have had my iphone 13 mini for about 6 weeks, and it suddenly won't send gifs in iMessage. I appear to be running the latest ios. I have installed and reinstalled #images several times. Any advice?

Hi there Lallie94,


We understand that you are unable to send GIFs in the Messages app on your iPhone. We’d be happy to help.


To start, does this happen with every contact you try to send a GIF to or only with certain contacts? Can you receive GIFs without issue? 

Send and save GIFs on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Also, let’s update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS, 15.3, using this article:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If this continues after updating and with multiple contacts, please provide more details on what happens when you try to send a GIF and if you are getting an error message of some kind. 


Cheers!
