Have you actually seen some of the content? It's not suitable for a 13 year old

What nature are the GIF's which are not suitable? Violence? Sexual? Offensive?

I’m not sure that it can be done.
Also couldn’t they still view still images anyway?
Which gifs are inappropriate?

I didn't think you could block GIFs...isn't that like blocking every picture that loads on your device??👀 You'd have to block the person sending them...? I think anyway.

Do you know what a gif is OP? Genuine question.
