I cannot perform magic tricks at all,” Sowole said.īut use Giphy Keys - without a knowledge of iOS development - and you might be mistaken. So-called “magician” Stephen Sowole, formally lead iOS developer, led the charge. Late last year, Giphy tasked the company’s mobile developer team with building the keyboard. We checked out a lot of GIF keyboards, and we actually power a lot of them, but we were not satisfied with what they could do,” said Julie Logan, head of brand strategy. Why did Giphy wait a year and a half to launch its own? “We weren’t super in a hurry, just trying to explore different options. In fact, one of Giphy’s main competitors, Riffsy, has had a similar feature since late 2014 with its aptly named app GIF Keyboard. This isn’t the first GIF keyboard, nor will it be the last. “We’re not a keyboard company, but it’s a place to be if we’re trying to serve up GIFs,” Jillian Fisher, director of mobile products at Giphy, told International Business Times. With Giphy Keys, users can swipe through and select a GIF to share immediately via text message or on a social network like Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat (the only one that doesn't have its own GIF integration, yet). The new feature reduces the steps for going from a text conversation to the Giphy app or searching online for a particular image or GIF to share.

That means users can now download the Giphy Keys app, allow permission for the app in the keyboard settings and have it pop up in any application they choose. Giphy wants to rule the world of GIFs, and what better way than tapping directly into a phone’s core function? The GIF search engine and creator released Tuesday Giphy Keys, a new iPhone keyboard that lets users easily share cats with lasers shooting out of their lying eyes in any app.
GIPHY Keys is the company's first smartphone keyboard that lets users search for and send GIFs within any messaging app.
