Messaging App Pinger Launches Snapchat-Like GIF Chat

Hot on the heels of WhatsApp's launch on Monday of its new voice feature, messaging rival Pinger has announced it is also spicing up its communications toolset by letting users record and send GIFs to one another. The GIFs will last for up to six seconds and continue as a loop, and in a nod to the growing popularity of Snapchat, users will also have the option to make them self destruct after a certain amount of time.
