The feature is first available in the Android beta and is expected to come to iOS and Desktop as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Autoplay is enabled by default, but if you prefer stickers and GIFs not to play automatically, you can turn it off in the app&#8217;s settings (Settings > Chats). This can be particularly useful for accessibility, as some users may be sensitive to motion, or simply prefer to avoid animations in their chats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The setting applies to both incoming and outgoing stickers and GIFs. When autoplay is turned off, you can tap to play the GIF or sticker animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ac7ae2e03b5d&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ac7ae2e03b5d\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"335\" height=\"719\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/files\/signal-app-autoplay-stickers-and-gifs.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/files\/signal-app-autoplay-stickers-and-gifs.png 335w, https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/files\/signal-app-autoplay-stickers-and-gifs-140x300.png 140w, https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/files\/signal-app-autoplay-stickers-and-gifs-6x12.png 6w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>New setting Autoplay stickers and GIFs<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Verf\u00fcgbarkeit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The feature is available in Android beta version 8.31, and expected to eventually come to iOS and Desktop as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as there is more news, you will of course find it on our website and social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Informiert bleiben<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M\u00f6chtest du die neuesten Signal Neuigkeiten, Tipps und Updates erhalten?
