It works for me.

Uygulamanın amacı güzel ama çalışmıyor. Eğer gerçekten çalışsaydı 5 yıldız verirdim. Bir de küçük bir öneri; bence bizi Whatsapp'a yönlendirmek yerine o gifi kopyalasın. Sonra, biz o gifi sağ üstten "Drop a GİF" tuşuna basarak getirtebilelim. Yoksa halihazırda Whatsapp açıkken yeni bir sekme daha Whatsapp açılıyor.
