The gif I created in classic timeline run in normal speed in the browser or gmail preview. But when inserted in Whatsapp all transitions runs very slow. I tested with other animated gif from the web and run normal. There is something in the way Photoshop is exporting the animated gif who get bugged in WhatsApp?

3 years later I have the same problem. When saving my giff in photoshop it is slow on whatsapp. The solution I found was to save it in mp4 and convert it to a gif on the website https://www.convertio.co... When I did that, everything worked fine!

I did some tests and seems that when the animated gif has the same speed at all frames there is not problem. But when the initial frame has longer time the animation after can´t make frames fast as 0.1s. Don´t know if is something that Photoshop exports that is giving conflict with WhatsApp (android version) or is the WhatsApp the problem.

Did you ever figure a fix to this or any more info? My gifs look great seemingly everywhere else, however they're slow in WhatsApp--looks awful. 🙏
