Luckily, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem and start sending GIFs on Facebook Messenger again. But as I said, this problem seems to happen more often on the Messenger app.

Your internet connection could also be causing your GIFs to fail. GIFs can be quite large, and if you’re trying to send a GIF that’s too big, it might not get sent. If you’ve ever tried to send a GIF on Facebook Messenger and it’s just shown up as a blank space, that’s probably what’s happened.Īnother reason GIFs might not work on Facebook Messenger is because of the file size.

This can take a while, and sometimes the GIF doesn’t even load. Each time you try to send a GIF, Facebook Messenger has to load it from the hosting site. The most likely reason for this is that GIFs are hosted on many different platforms.
