As it won’t be exclusive to just one company, we just might see it launch on Sprint and other carriers as well.
We are still quite a few months away from the official announcement of the Moto Z2 Force.

Sources tell TechCrunch this button will allow users to browse and search through GIFs from sources like Giphy and Tenor.
