Shabaam
It's no secret that people love to share GIFs everywhere online, giving rise to all sorts of different GIF maker apps.
Shabaam is a new one that takes the GIF trend to another level by
giving users the opportunity to spice up their favorite GIFs with some
added audio.
Just pick a GIF from the app's extensive GIF library and then use
your device to record your voice (or any sound of your choice) to be
dubbed over the GIF. The final product is a very short video (because it
can't remain in .GIF format due to the audio) that you can save to your
device or share through other apps.

core features without the inconvenience of slowing down your phone. In
addition to being a great alternative to Messenger on older Android
devices, Messenger Lite is also ideal for staying connected to people
