Can't save gifs anymore ios 14?
This is my workaround UNTIL APPLE DECIDES TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
If you have FB messenger.. send the gif to yourself. Save the gif from messenger to your photos. Use EZGIF to turn it into a gif. Done.
ANOTHER SOFTWARE ISSUE that started with IOS 15.1 is when you select the file in EZGIF from your photos I get a message ‘downloading from icloud’. I do not use the icloud AT ALL. I have to redo the select file and then it works. It an intermittent thing.. Sometimes I get it on the first shot and sometimes I don’t. Really annoying. Sorry I upgraded.
I’m currently dealing with this too and it’s very frustrating. I wonder if it’s a bug or a “fix”, I missed the wave for the live wallpaper craze
Finally figured it out and I feel dumb! Super simple fix: in settings, go to the Photos app and enable, “Auto-Play videos and Live Photos.”
Guys, i found temporary solution. You download the gif and the still image convert on this website https://convertio.co/html-gif/ then u download it and save to photos
I have the same problem. Is there no solution yet ? Like, what the heck is the hold up ?!
It’s been a year and a half why isnt this problem fixed?
just use safari and it will work
Take notice how many complaints there are on this subject and not one single answer from Apple as to a fix let alone any response at all.
A couple years later... There seem to be many web based solutions to converting webp to gif, but now downloading the webp seems to be a problem. The one solution I've found for the phone is an app called Image Bulk Saver / iDig. It's limited and costs a lot to remove that limit but it works
Here are some possible reasons why you can't save GIFs on your iPhone with iOS 14:
- You may be using an older version of iOS. Apple releases updates for iOS on a regular basis, and these updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements. Make sure you have the latest version of iOS installed on your device.
- The GIF you're trying to save may be corrupt. If you're trying to save a GIF that's been damaged or corrupted, it may not save properly. Try saving a different GIF to see if that works.
- There may be a problem with your internet connection. If you're having trouble saving GIFs from the internet, make sure you have a strong and stable internet connection.
