17.1.1 update. Message search for gifs and #images no longer work?

When using the (+) and #images options in messages for gifs - the search does not work and shows nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this? I found the + #images but when I search for something it’s just black. 😭 this update sucks big time. Even texting this took me twice as long with this new spellcheck thing 🥵

IOS 17 1.1 has taken everything that is easy about text and made it overly complicated. Other apps like the phone app are cluttered and clumsy! My GIFS have disappeared and I have tried everything to get them back. Anyone? Help!!!

But it only presents you with “Tenor” gifs that doesn’t indicate how to send it. I want to use my already downloaded GIFs & Giphy Apps, that I at least know how to use. Apple shouldn’t be pushing a product (Tenor) exclusively on their own initiative while not letting us choose our already downloaded & installed gif apps! If you know how to access the other gif apps I already use, please let me know & if you know how to upload a chosen Tenor gif (which are crap, btw), I would appreciate knowing how to do that, too. TY for your help.
