Doesn't seem to work with android discord mobile app at all.

Hi, Bluebie, thanks for opening this issue.

I don't have any Android devices so I've only found out about this bug today. After asking around, it appears Discord app for Android auto-plays all of the GIFs and since GIFs generated by my bot are meant to stop at the last frame, this ultimately reveals the spoiler.

Unfortunately, I can't really do much about it without ruining the experience on other platforms - I could potentially insert a blank frame in the end but this will break the spoilers in the desktop app.

The issue here is the inconsistent behaviour of GIFs on different platforms - they behave differently in iOS, Android and desktop apps. I've reported this issue to Discord devs but I don't think they'll be looking into this soon. At this point in time, there is nothing else I can do. Sorry.
