GIFs on FB Ads & Posts ... finally

Here are two examples:

Downside is that it requires click and doesnt auto play (yet)

Its not live yet but keep an eye out

“GIFs can be a fun and compelling way to communicate, so we’ve started testing GIF support in posts and boosted posts for a small percentage of Facebook Pages. We will evaluate whether it drives a great experience for people before rolling it out to more Pages.”

Not having it play automatically kinda misses the point IMO, but good step forward nonetheless.

videos didnt autoplay at the start either when they were first introduced

so who knows - maybe once this is live and has been tested and demonstrated to increase engagement facebook will switch auto play on,.
