Same here, and for several of my friends. Can add screenshots if you want.

Same, usually those searched via the gif inline command

I was debugging this along with @flyingluscas and it seems that the problem occurs when Telegram API doesn't have a thumb for the GIF, so the client shows the text "mp4.mp4". Removing these lines, the client shows a GIF button on an empty space:
IMHO an easy alternative, and better than "mp4.mp4", is to show just the GIF button. To solve this issue in the best way, I suggest autoplay GIFs that are being shown on the screen. What do you think?

Thx for the workaround. I think autoplay would be a great alternative too, only if it can be enabled/disabled in settings.
