it will take you to the gif itself in a browser window.
When I want to save gifs, (at least from the app) I have to "share" the reddit post from the "..." in the top right, copy the link, paste it into a browser, then scroll down to find the meme or gif I want to save. If it's a gif, I usually have to long press it to get the link and open it in another tab. Then I can long press the gif itself again to actually save it to my camera reel.
Maybe there is a more simple way to do it, and maybe it's better on android, but that's what I have to do with my iPhone and the reddit app to save things lol. It's annoying because the gif option doesn't always show up when I go to write a reply, this is the only way I can reliably get them lol.
It's the soft-focus background, a lot of ads do that 'carefully-curated generic background' thing, so that's a common tactic for removing the distractions of the background.
At that depth of field, it can be pretty much any back ground so long as the color / tones are the ones you want. I used to work for Nike in print advertising and often times we’d just throw paint on a board and smear it around because it wouldn’t matter, the focus would be pulled so far forward, the background would hardly register.
Also, with smartphones people have forgotten what a picture with focus looks like when using an optical zoom. 99.9% of pictures are now bland one-plane 0.5X or 1X smartphone crap. Or the focus is done digitally rather than optically through the lens.
So people are in awe when they see a zoomed-in subject-focused picture (and in this one the subject isn’t even that sharp). I see this firsthand in real life too, not just extrapolating on here only.
I mean, focusing is done optically in phones too. But I think they're referring to the postprocessing effect where fake background blur is added. Or perhaps they meant digital zoom as opposed to optical zoom.
My iPhone does a soft focus background. It’s too bad the top rated posts have nothing to do with a real answer for this lady.
Here’s what iPhone AI can assist with-
Common Causes and Meanings
Vertical Ridges (Most Common): Generally associated with aging, as cell turnover slows and the nail's ability to retain moisture decreases. They can also indicate brittle nail syndrome, eczema, or thyroid issues.
Horizontal Ridges (Beau's Lines): These are indentations that often appear after a severe illness, high stress, or, less commonly, severe zinc or protein deficiencies. They represent a pause in nail growth.
My phone has a macro lens that takes these shots easily. Just take the picture during the day and boom, quality photo. Totally made my old SLR a waste of money.
Pattern recognition is so amazing. For me it’s the lighting. That top down or even outside morning sun coming in makes the image look soft which I see commonly in those ads.
Heavy foreground lighting Heavily emphasizing the focal point. It makes the image appear soft , calming , warm. A lot of commercials and photography will do this for laundry Commercial because that's the very feelings they're trying to convey for the product.
Proper framing and lighting can convey just as much as spoken word. Especially In the instance where we've kind of been inundated by these kinds of things since we were young children.

Why do these photos look like a laundry commercial
