Do you prefer to communicate using only GIFs? A new keyboard for Apple’s iOS 8 will let you do just that.
A new feature in Apple’s forthcoming iOS 8 is the ability to use third-party keyboards like the popular SwiftKey and Swype for Android. While those are set to make their debut in the iTunes App Store soon, iOS 8 users will be the first to enjoy a keyboard made up of GIFs.
PopKey bills itself as “the world’s first animated GIF keyboard” and lets you select from a variety of GIFs that you can send with a tap of a button right from where the standard keyboard usually sits. It’ll be as easy as sending the poop emoji to your friend.
This demo video shows off how it works:
According to this video, you have to copy and paste the GIFs from the keyboard into the reply box. It’s not as easy and streamlined as typing, but it’ll do.
A price and launch date for PopKey have yet to be announced, but you can sign up for updates on their website. There are no details about a potential Android launch.
Apple will release iOS 8 for free download on Wednesday, September 17.
