Why is Tenor GIF service changing?
The reason behind the discontinuation of Tenor GIF service is that Tenor has stated that it will only provide its API services until June 30, 2026, and has stopped accepting new developer registrations. Therefore, it will not provide GIFs after June 30. To address this, WhatsApp has already started working on integrating its system with the Klipy GIF provider so that its users do not face any problems while sharing GIFs during chats.

This is an automatic GIF provider, stickers, and meme offering platform that also offers API services. With this feature, WhatsApp users will be able to search for and share GIFs directly within their chats without any extra effort. They will continue to share GIFs in the same way they do now, but instead of the Tenor label that previously appeared on GIFs, the Klipy label will be displayed.
