Option to Freeze GIFs on Discord App

Dynames

Hello!

I was wondering when the Discord mobile app (Android and iOS) will get the feature to choose to freeze GIFs unless they're tapped on. I'm honestly shocked that this hasn't been included yet since it is a safety feature for those with epilepsy. A close friend of mine is epileptic and is unable to use the mobile app because of this or risk a seizure, but she also has really bad anxiety and all of her friends (her support circle) are on Discord and she currently has no way to contact us when she isn't home.

Please add the feature to disable GIFs to the mobile app as it is already on desktop. I'm really worried about my friend and I just want to be able to make sure she's okay.

Thank you!

    In User settings / Accessibility there is an "on" option to animate gifs. I have set it to "off" and the animated gifs are now freezed.

    That chat box feels little bit disturbing

    Is there any way at all to stop GIFs from autoplaying on my Android device? I don't want to drain my data on GIFs but I don't see the same option to turn them off as I do on my desktop - where is this setting on mobile??
