WhatsApp has been updated with the ability to search for animated GIFs. This comes right after the app was update with support for animated GIFs a few days ago.
WhatsApp Messenger is a FREE messaging app available for iPhone and other smartphones. WhatsApp uses your phone's Internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to let you message and call friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, calls, photos, videos, and Voice Messages.
What's New In This Version: • Search for the perfect animated GIF right from within WhatsApp. Just tap Attach — Photo/Video Library and tap on the GIF search button on the bottom left to get started. • You can now send and receive animated GIFs • For videos that are 6 seconds or shorter, you can now send them as animated GIFs. Just tap the GIF toggle after picking a video. (requires iPhone 6s or iPhone 7) • Send Live Photos as animated GIFs. Just 3D Touch any live photo from Attach — Photo/Video Library and choose "Select as GIF."
You can download WhatsApp Messenger from the App Store for free.

You can't add custom GIFs or GIFs you downloaded from another site, like IMGUR?

I've found that you can use apps like Giphy and export GIFs from it straight to WhatsApp. I think earlier in WhatsApp would send the GIF as a picture, whereas now the GIF imported from Giphy works as supposed to.
