In 2012, Twitter banned GIF avatars. According to Buzzfeed, Dick Costolo, Twitter's then-CEO, was apparently not a fan and shut down the feature that allowed users to change their profiles into GIF avatars. Users who had previously uploaded a GIF avatar were allowed to retain them, but new GIFs couldn't be added.

Users can see already organized posts by removing the option to create Moments on Twitter.

Since Musk acquired Twitter in October, the microblogging site has introduced a series of new features and updates.
