Just weighing in. Nothing in this thread is animated for me, including his manual one.
This happens to me all the time. Assumed it was a Damus thing. 🤷
Discussion
Really? I’m using Damus and the 2nd and 3rd are animated fine. Check your version? My iPhone is old ass iPhone 12 also!
Current TestFlight, iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Im not using TestFlight anymore, so weird. Do any other gifs animate for you? How about if you upload a gif?
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s , you seen this issue before?

Still didn’t fix the gif issue? Im experiencing this as well
I see that it is trying to rebuild the gif from this commit, maybe we can just upload gifs as is? how common is metadata in gifs ?
Weird, I remember it working with the gif I tested it with
I am on TF version now and besides the first note, all is animated for me 🐶🐾🫡
I’m on TF 1.9 (1) as well. Uploaded the gif from my Photo Library while composing the note.
Upload from Damus: 
Upload from web to Nostr.build: 
Both uploads use the same image from my Photo Library on iOS.
