Everyone in the group chat is dropping animated reactions while your GIF button either does nothing or is missing entirely. You click the icon, the GIPHY search panel loads, but every result shows a broken image placeholder — or worse, the icon never appears in the compose toolbar at all. The cause is usually a disabled GIPHY integration, corrupted cache, or a firewall blocking the media service, and each one has a quick fix.
