The social network unveiled the update in a post on its Google+ page, alongside a link to a Google search for "How to create a gif." Matt Steiner, a software engineer at Google, first made the announcement on his profile page. He said GIFs will animate on both desktop and mobile, "like newspapers in Harry Potter." Steiner also changed his profile pic to a GIF of himself turning towards the camera and smiling. The update comes just a week after Google added a search filter for GIFs and transparent images. When users conduct an image search, they simply click on "Search tools" below the search box, then select "Animated" under the "Any tupe" dropdown menu to refine their results.
