The brief

Google has terminated the Tenor API as of June 30. This move removes GIF search and picker capabilities from various apps and websites that relied on the service for integrated GIF support.

Coverage from The Verge, 9to5Google, and The Tech Buzz emphasizes that this shutdown forces apps to find new GIF sources. Shacknews specifically notes that GIF support on Twitter/X and Discord is affected, though PCGamesN reports that Discord will not lose its GIF functionality.

Future developments depend on how affected platforms transition to alternative GIF providers to replace the defunct Tenor API.
