Original story (published on July 27, 2022) follows:

Tenor is one of the most popular online GIF search engines and databases in the world. The GIF Keyboard is the most popular Tenor product and is available on Android, iOS and macOS.

However, according to recent reports, many users of the service are complaining about Tenor GIFs not working or taking too long to load on Discord, Twitter and other social media platforms.

Every single thing I type into the gif bar, even something as simple as a hug gif says no results were found.

So my GIF search is broken and i have no idea to fix, restarting discord and computer doesn’t work.

Users are frustrated as this issue hinders the core functionality of the service and makes it completely unusable.

According to some, Tenor’s API or its search functionality is having issues at the moment. Even searching for GIFs on the Tenor website is not working for some users.
