How can I prevent GIFs from crashing Messages on iMac?
I recently had an issue where a contact sent me a GIF in a message that appeared to cause Messages to crash (become unresponsive) on my Mac. I turned on "Sync messages to iCloud" on my iPhone and deleted the message that contained the GIF and that resolved the issue. How can a GIF cause Message on the Mac to crash? Or was it something else about the message?
