If you find that the written word fails to truly convey your emotions when you send messages by phone, then perhaps you should consider the PopKey app.
Instead of communicating through text, or emoji, PopKey is hoping to make the experience more fun by letting users send GIFs. With PopKey, GIFs are grouped together via searchable keywords like, 'lol,' yes, and happy, which you can then send as a message. Furthermore, PopKey will let you store your favorite GIFs so you can access them easier, as well as let you upload your own.
Unfortunately there's no word yet on when PopKey is expected to release on the Apple Store, however you can sign up on its website to get an alert when it does.

Trend Themes

2. Keyword Search - Building apps that group together GIFs via searchable keywords not only makes the user experience more organized but also opens up possibilities for targeted advertising based on those keywords.
3. Personalized Libraries - Creating apps that allow users to store and access their favorite GIFs and even upload their own GIFs gives them more control over the content they want to use in messaging, which can lead to enhanced personalization experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile Messaging - Companies in the mobile messaging industry could incorporate GIF messaging into their apps, providing their users with a more enjoyable and expressive way to communicate.
2. Digital Advertising - Developing targeted ad campaigns based on searchable keywords in GIF messaging apps could be disruptive to the digital advertising industry since it offers a more engaging and relevant advertising experience.
3. Social Media - Incorporating GIF messaging and personalized libraries in social media platforms can attract and retain users who want to express themselves with more than just text, increasing engagement and retention rates.
