Animated images not looping properly

Here's an example image: http://i.imgur.com/t41JRrr.gif

Download that and try to add it to a watchface. It half-loads the image the skips half of the frames and breaks any perfect loop. It's like it can only use the first half of the frames. I've noticed this on quite a few animated gifs now

If you mean on phone, this could be because the gif decoder runs out of memory for larger gifs and truncates them. We are investigating other gif decoders that might handle longer loops.

If you mean on watch, I would recommend setting a longer "Keep Awake" time in settings

it works for me - but the gif has nearly 200 frames so your phone may run out of memory when trying to decode them all. try closing all apps on your phone an try again.

So you're saying my S6 is running out of memory? Even after reboot......
