Some Android users are receiving distorted GIFs from iPhone owners

Something strange is going on as Android users who use Google Messages are receiving GIFs from iPhone users that turn into distorted still images with dots and missing pixels. Since they are being sent to Android users from an iPhone, the GIFs are sent via SMS or MMS as iOS does not support the Rich Communication Services platform, used with Google Messages. Sometime later this year, iOS will add support RCS.
