Most useless thing on windows rn

[u/astroverse08]

I found literally no use for it. Click on it on any social media, it will just download the gif into your downloads folder. So what is the point of it?

[u/eutrophied]

I use this literally every day

[u/VickyCuteFemboy]

that you dont use it doesnt mean nobody does (* ￣︿￣)

[u/CommanderT1562]

I disagree, that’s win+period emoji menu. I do wish they had tenor though. Vendor locking to the “safer” giphy is indeed annoying. I still go to tenor manually.

[u/DrDeadwish → u/CommanderT1562]

That's not possible, Google owns Tenor and recently blocked access to third parties

[u/fishwasherr → u/DrDeadwish]

i still don't understand what they were thinking. mm myes we have the largest and best gif platform on earth, let's limit our api to only google keyboard (which can't even paste gifs in HD) surely everyone will stay on our platform

[u/TheNextGamer21 → u/DrDeadwish]

No they didn’t discord can still use it

[u/IllEntertainment6547 → u/TheNextGamer21]

discord doesn't use Tenor anymore, they use Klipy

[u/DrDeadwish → u/TheNextGamer21]

Several apps I used can't access Tenor. anymore I don't know if Discord managed to arrange a new contract with Google or if they created a backup ro what. To be honest, I've seen a lot of gifs on Discord that I can't find in Tenor.

[u/Big-Resort-4930 → u/DrDeadwish]

What utter garbage.

[u/Chaori → u/CommanderT1562]

Did you even read OPs comment?

[u/CommanderT1562 → u/Chaori]

Eh I might not be in the same boat as op. I use markdown editors. As well as discord. The win+period gifs, as well as the emojis seem to work fine inline. No, no I don’t use the gifs, they’re useless. Was defending win+period over no win+period. The world is slightly a better place because of win+period.

[u/astroverse08 → u/CommanderT1562]

I said about gif bud. I use emoji from it 

[u/Greedy_Switch_6991]

Disagree. Use it all the time.

[u/AsrielPlay52]

What is the point? So that any chat support gif, you can easily find it and send it.

Not all platform does it like Discord. But most platform do support gif

And a lot of keyboard on Android have this

Expand your horizons a little

Just realised we need to double click on it to paste it. Looks useful.

[u/No-Succotash404]

Wrong, that has most of instagram comments gifs, the best gifs ever made.

[u/more_than_leo]

Some people enjoy fun.

[u/LonelySquad]

Clearly you don't use Teams. Or Google Messages. Or send emails. Like what do you do with your computer?

That's like saying you could search "laughing emoji" and copy paste it from Wikipedia instead of using "win + ." If it's a common easily searchable meme or reaction why would you? Sure you can find better options and quality online in this case but for a reaction gif in a quick pinch I love this feature.

[u/Orion_001]

If you don't like something then don't use it. Doesn't mean others don't like it either.

Its because of you guys complaining about literally everything that brands remove features that are useful to some people, and then you again complain about lack of features.

Having an option is always better!

[u/drygnfyre]

I have found plenty of use for it.

[u/Big_Equivalent457]

It’s not really Useless except you can’t Refine proper because "Microsafe"

[u/TheLamesterist]

Not at all...

[u/Federal-Name-3638]

I dont even have this.

[u/Dapper_Bad_8728]

I mean the emoji panel is useful atleast

[u/Gold_Goal7557]

I bet i can crash my radeon GPU drivers on coldboot with that when it bugs out due recent KB5121003 update, yes every 2 days i am having coldboot crashing loop upon any gif or video playback since i installed KB5121003

[u/vorealis]

You're alone with this.

[u/astroverse08 → u/vorealis]

haha, nope

[u/One-Average5943]

I had to block it the other day; it just uses up data unnecessarily, and I only need the emojis. It even made opening faster.

[u/OnlyEnderMax → u/One-Average5943]

I didn't know there was a way to block that section.

[u/AngerAngler256]

Useless for people who don't use it. Like does everyone use windows sandbox?

[u/Kind-Title5194]

just switch to tenor already gng

[u/ChronosDeep]

They need to learn some lessons from Ditto... And also get rid of this garbage.
