  • Hello!!! Same problem here! please fix this!

  • https://ezgif.com

    i had the same issue and used a “static” gif that was saved with just 1 frame on this site and it recognized it as a gif with the missing frames to, i wonder if it has to do with the photos app itself not displaying gifs properly? ive also noticed that i cant upload transparent bg images to discord without it loosing transparency and if your transparent image is too small (talking 100 x 100) then it also looses transparency but that one doesnt repost with transparency unlike this gif situation (however when i uploaded the small image with lost transparency to a photo editing/art app on my phone it DID upload with a transparent bg so idk what the deal is)

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.”

  • Mine is ON but still won’t play !

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.
