That’s crazy. I have never experienced that on an iPhone. Only Android.
That's a blatant lie. Animated gifs worked on Android for years. They were certainly working before I switched to an iPhone in January 2016

Animated gifs would NOT animate in iMessage/photos until you sent it. So if you had two similar gifs stored on your phone, you had to hope you chose he right one.

There's articles about this feature finally being added in iOS 11: Apple adds support for animated GIFs and dedicated screen recording tool in iOS 11
