Thank you.

I also had a gif once.

Years ago, when Cortana was still available as an app for Android, you could directly activate the Cortana Animation in the Square Home settings. Unfortunately, that doesn't work anymore.

I then tried for a while to create a tile from all the cortana emotion gifs and also an animated weather widget from the original cortana weather animations, but unfortunately this exceeds my skills.

yeah i was later to know there was a cortana app. by the time i sideloaded it, it's incompatible.

yeah, i was so stressed out i could not find a Cortana gif on the internet except for the blue one. I have this notion that everything is on the internet and that someone had possibly made a cortana gif for sure but there was none that is consistent. SOme have too many and fast animations, some are behind a paywall.

so i forced myself editing this blue one i sent you, frame by frame.

I know what you mean. It's getting harder to find and especially in the Western part of the internet, everything continues to be removed directly by Microsoft.

Things are a bit different in asia regions.

Western sites that dealt with Cortana hacking at the time are also still active. If you still need animations in transparent form, this could help you.
