However, the 5MB photo limit stays the same, along with the GIF limit, for mobile uploads on Twitter. 

But the micro-blogging website now allows for GIFs three times the size if they are uploaded on the web from a desktop computer. 

The update has not made its way to TweetDeck which remains perennially behind the times when it comes to Twitter engineering improvements, The Verge reported.
