📰 Giphy was just acquired by Facebook.
On Telegram, the Giphy API only sees your search terms. None of your data is shared, and it doesn't know who you are.
Giphy confirmed to The Verge that Telegram’s tweet is accurate.
In a statement to The Verge, Telegram is also in the middle of transitioning away from Giphy @gif
