For mobile, it's mostly the same steps, except you have to click the three little dots to get the "View Image" to come up so you can grab the actual link that ends in .gif. Then to enter it into the reply box, you must enter in an HTML code to put your link in:

I know on my phone (I phone) the only way ive been able to have a successful gif is if I have the quotations in it...

<img src="PASTELINK">

The code or link is on the web browser on the very top. You have to make sure it ends with .gif.

YAY!!!

Embuzz- try actually typing
"< img src=
Then paste your link
Then close with
">" bracket
I needed the space between img and src... Not between " arrow bracket and img -

Sorry to spell it out so awkwardly but everytime I try to post is some of the stuff disappears

@Embuzz247 look where I posted above and it will only work via mobile if I use the quotations too.

Make sure your link ends in gif

Tumblr has a lot of gifs or you can google a gif like mean girl gif Eta- then go to the images and see image and copy
