Well Gifs in the context of Twitter and messaging apps are almost always a reaction to something said.

Even now I find some of the labelling of Tenor (GIF Keyboard) and Giphy to be lacking. Which makes it hard to find an appropriate reaction GIF.

Better search, categories and recommendations would probably be a good addition.

Maybe a merge tool too, to combine too gifs for the perfect reaction GIF....

Just thought of another feature.

GIFs are highly emotional (in most cases) I think a good UX feature would be to quickly describe a complex emotion by clicking through emotion recommendations, and adding them to a tag list which could find you matching GIFs

(Happy), (Nervous), (Scared)

(Happy), (Hungry), (Sleepy)

(Angry), (Hungry), (Tired)

This could help find the perfect reaction GIF... The possibilities are endless
