Can you check if autoPlayGifs setting is enabled?
There is currently a bug with our image viewer that it seems to use imageloader that is set on the application level (which is controlled by that setting) instead of the one that is passed into it(which has it always enabled).
Well that's weird. I turned on that setting, reloaded the app, and now they don't exactly "play", but their frames kinda change randomly when I open the GIF in the image viewer and tap the screen to toggle between full screen and having the back button visible. Almost like it's "playing" in the background, but only getting redrawn when something else makes the view update.
That sounds like this bug,
https://github.com/coil-kt/coil/issues/2287#issuecomment-2168638831
which is most likely the same as https://github.com/coil-kt/coil/issues/2298
It does look similar to that 2287 bug.
Also I'm on a Fairphone 4 if that helps.
For me they only play when I scroll the feed
There is a bug with our toolkit and our image display dependency
