### FAQs

##### How many GIFs can I choose from?

You'll see one GIF at a time, but you can shuffle through multiple options until you find the perfect one for your message.

##### Can I search for specific types of GIFs?

Yes. After typing `/giphy`, add a keyword or phrase that describes the type of GIF you want. For example, `/giphy happy`, `/giphy celebration`, or `/giphy thumbs up`.

##### What if I don't like the first GIF that appears?

Click the shuffle button to see different GIF options. Keep shuffling until you find one you want to send.
