The first thing you need to know about sharing GIFs to Instagram is that you're not really sharing a GIF after it's all said and done.
What I mean is, the GIF you want to share basically needs to be converted into a video file. More specifically, an MP4 video file.
Yeah, it's a little bit of a pain in the ass to convert the files, but hey, if you want to grow your meme-based Insta, you're gonna need to put in the hard work.
For iOS
There are dozens of apps available that'll convert your GIFs into a video file, but none as fast as using GifLab (free) for iOS.

Step 1: Save the the GIF you want to share to Instagram to your camera roll.
Step 2: Open GifLab and select "GIF to Instagram."

On Android, the easiest way to post a GIF is with GIPHY CAM (free).
