How to send GIFs in ēllu chats and what to do if you don’t see the option on your keyboard.

You can send GIFs in ēllu chats using the GIF search feature built into your keyboard. Many smartphone keyboards include this feature, allowing you to search and send GIFs directly from the keyboard while typing.

To do this:

  1. Open a chat in ēllu.

  2. Open your keyboard while typing a message.

  3. Tap the GIF option or the GIF icon on your keyboard.

  4. Search for the GIF you want and select it.

The GIF will be sent automatically in the chat.

On some devices, such as iOS, the GIF may be copied to your clipboard instead of being sent automatically. In that case, simply paste it into the chat to send it.


I can’t see the GIF option on my keyboard

If you don’t see the GIF option on your keyboard, it may be because your current keyboard does not include a built-in GIF search feature.

In that case, we recommend installing a compatible keyboard such as Gboard (Google Keyboard), which includes a GIF search tool and allows you to easily send GIFs in ēllu chats.

Once installed:

  1. Enable the new keyboard in your device settings.

  2. Open a chat in ēllu.

  3. Look for the GIF option on the keyboard to start sending them.
