Send a moving picture to someone with WhatsApp. That can be an existing gif or make your own.
What is a poison?
A GIF is a moving picture or short video without sound lasting a few seconds, played in an infinite loop (“loop” or “walk’). Think of images of a dancing dog or someone clapping their hands. For example, use a cake with lit candles to send to someone for their birthday. There are already many existing gifs. This is how the website GIPHY there are thousands. You can also just use this in WhatsApp. But it is also possible to make your own gif.
