Google has made it easier to share GIFs from Google Images with our friends and family. This feature is available on the Google app on iOS and Android as well as on the Chrome app on Android.

When you do a Google image search, just click the GIF section near the top. That will open up a search result page where you’ll see all the GIFs available to you. Click the “Share” button and you’ll be able to send the GIF via SMS text message, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Twitter, and even email.
Available GIFs will come from Tenor.com, or through a Google partner. You can fill out a form to connect with Google’s partnership team.
Finally, we have the ability to quickly send our coworker a GIF when they ask if we want to do pizza for lunch.
If you are on mobile, you can conveniently click on the button to share a GIF. However, you still have an option to share GIFs from Google Images even if you are on desktop. If you are on desktop, click on the corresponding GIF you want to send, and hit the share button. You also can quickly send GIFs using Giphy on both desktop and mobile.
