WhatsApp is a popular messaging application. The Facebook-owned company has been adding new features from time to time to provide an impressive user experience. In 2016, the messaging app was reloaded with the long pending video call capability.

Select WhatsApp from the list and pick a contact to whom you need to send the converted GIF. Your video will appear inside the relevant contact.
If your video is more than 6 seconds, then you will not find an option to convert into GIF. The second option is to open a new conversation from WhatsApp and to select the video from the Gallery section.
Step 3
After selecting the name of the contact, your video should appear inside the conversation.
To create a GIF based on the created video, you need to tap the camcorder icon located on the top right-hand side.
