The GIF Keyboard is pretty self-explanatory: It’s a virtual keypad replacement that lets you express yourself with animated images instead of Latin characters. And now that you can write your own captions on GIFs, the keyboard just got a lot more personal.
But there’s no denying that even the very worst GIFs are more expressive than static pictures or emoji, and that’s the appeal of Riffsy’s GIF Keyboard for iOS. GIFs, as any avid user of the “Interwebz” will tell you, run the gamut of human achievement and foibles. They’re the social media equivalent of a modern art museum: a few are the pinnacle of profundity, some are at the very least entertaining, and most are of dubious relevance.
