Description

What I did

Used the built in gif feature in the Android Google keyboard. I selected a gif while in a chat conversation with a friend.

What happened

The keybase file selector opened as if it was wanting to save the file somewhere.

What I expected to happen

The gif to be inserted directly into my chat conversation.

Why did I expect this

Most chat applications behave this way. Some examples are Hangouts and Slack.

Research direction

Reproduce this on Android with the standard Google keyboard by selecting a GIF in a chat conversation. Start by tracing the Android chat attachment and file-selector handling; done means the selected GIF is inserted directly into the conversation instead of opening a save dialog.
