When referring to my WEBP animations, I tend to just use the term “GIF” in the colloquial sense that is a catch-all for “animated image”. But in the most literal sense, yes, these animations are all in WEBP format, not GIF format.
I converted them as soon as image picka had finished grabbing the webp containers. webp is nothing more than a container for files. It does compress them but ultimately I like compatibility. When webp is universally compatible like gif and other common formats I might accept it as truly useful.
I mean, you can’t send gifs or jpgs or pngs or any other pictures over sms either. That’s at least an mms, and these days it’s more likely an rcs… which can handle webp just fine (I just did it).

They are gifs now for me at least. Just a extra step to get rid of a useless techbro container.
Are you saying you saved these as GIF files because you do not see WEBP as useful?

Webp hasn’t been a compatibility issue for me. I use them quite a lot.
can’t send webps to family via sms, so they’re useless to me.
