Setting to disable gif autoplay

Feature Requests

Hi Heartbeat Team,

I run a community where some members find GIFs and looping animations overwhelming or inaccessible. Could you please add a feature that allows users to disable GIF autoplay (or have the platform respect system-wide “Reduce Motion” settings on iOS/Android)? This would make Heartbeat more accessible and inclusive for people with chronic illness, neurodivergence, or sensory sensitivity.

Thanks so much for considering this!

    Brilliant idea! I never even knew this was a thing… but if it exists anywhere I want it. I can't focus to read text when there is a gif repeating on my screen.
