A Pinterest spokesperson told ReadWrite that while Pinterest has been testing the feature for a little while now, 100% of pinners will have GIF functionality on their desktops, and soon on mobile. The first Pinterest GIFs may have already arrived on your dashboard, in fact, but you won’t notice until you press “play” on them—so no looping animations until you click“.
