IOS 17.5.1 gifs missing from messaging

Gifs are assessed in a different way in iOS 17.

To send GIFs in iOS 17:

• Start a conversation in the Messages app.
• Then, tap the "+" icon to the left of the text box. This will reveal some of your iMessage apps.
• Tap the #images app if you see it.
• If you don't see the #images app, tap "More" at the bottom.

To rearrange the iMessage apps the way you want it, review the apple support article here: Use iMessage apps in Messages on iPhone - Apple Support
