Using GIFs in the Beta Version
RespondidaI can attach GIFs in the regular version of SwiftKey, but the beta version just puts a link to the GIFs. Will the beta version be updated to be just like the regular version?

Because certain apps (eg, Samsung SMS) do not support GIF function properly, SwiftKey beta has made the change of sharing GIF through links in these apps.
Which beta version are you using?
Mine is 6.6.8.28, it works fine.
Please attach following info:
Thanks
Android 7.1.1 on Samsung Note8 using Samsung stock messaging app. SwiftKey Beta version 6.6.8.28 now has the GIF problem. No problem before the update. And I have no problem in Swiftkey version 6.6.6.26.
Have you tried a reinstall?
I just uninstalled and then reinstalled. It's still the same. When I select a GIF on the regular SwiftKey keyboard all works fine. When I select a GIF on the Beta keyboard I get this link listed instead of the actual GIF :

OK, thanks for the try.
Can you share the version number of Samsung stock SMS app?
Stock messaging app version is 4.3.00.29
Thank you. I'll share the info to the mod team.
Why does the regular version of SwiftKey work perfectly, while the Beta version uses a link for the GIF?
The regular version does not work perfectly. Perhaps on your device, but we received a large amount of complain.
Do notice the beta version has more recent changes, as its name: beta version.
OK. Thanks for your replies. I will use the regular version then.
Hopefully SwiftKey can get the updated version working perfectly.
I have the regular version of swift key not the beta. Tonight my app updated and now my gif doesn't work just puts the link instead of the image. The version before this one worked flawless how do I go back to the last version.? So it will work again. I use the gif quite often and now people have to click the link instead for instantly seeing the gif. It worked great before this new update. Samsung galaxy s6. Like i said nothing else has changed but your app just updated about an hrs ago and now they don't work.
