Article: There isn't a built-in way to post a GIF as a status, but you can copy a GIF from elsewhere. Enter "GIF" into your browser and review the results.  You can also type in a specific word after "GIF" to narrow your search. Most browsers have an image-only filter that you can select after searching for an option. This will help narrow your GIF search. Tap and hold the GIF until a pop-up menu appears, then tap the Copy option. It's a dark-blue app with a white "f" on it. This will open your Facebook News Feed if you're already logged into Facebook on your phone or tablet. If you aren't logged into Facebook, enter your email address (or phone number) and password to continue. It's the box with "What's on your mind?" in it at the top of the page. This is the "What's on your mind?" part of the status box. You should see a Paste option appear after a second or two. This will copy the GIF into Facebook's status box. This button is in the top-right corner of the screen. Doing so will post your GIF. If your selected Copy option copied a link into the status box, consider removing the link text after the GIF loads before you post.
