The particular function will be available under the emoji button in the text box. WhatsApp now features a new bottom bar that lets you choose between emoji and GIF. After selecting the GIF option, you can choose the GIF according to your requirement or search through Giphy.

Other Changes

WhatsApp has not only added the GIF search feature but, has also increased the media sharing limit to 30. Previously, users could only send 10 images or videos at a time.
