Facebook has introduced a new feature again. Facebook is now letting its 1.11 billion members react to their friends’ status updates with photo comments. Facebook has introduced the ability to add photos to comments on Facebook profiles status updates. The feature is not available for pages or events yet.
The social network said Wednesday that it has started the global release of the new feature, which lets people add photos to comment threads using a new Attach a Photo button. To start, uploads of photo comments will be restricted to the Facebook Web site and mobile site, but simply viewing photo comments will be possible from Facebook’s mobile applications, the company said.
With the new feature, the comment box has a camera button available. As you click on it, Facebook gives you the option to add a photo. The photo then gets uploaded and is inserted a part of the comment. It works similar to the way photos are embedded in messages with the users having the option to add text along with the image. However, the feature for comments is restricted to only one image at the moment.
Most image formats including JPEG, PNG and TIFF that are supported for regular Facebook image uploads are supported with the comments feature as well. The roll out is underway so if in case you still don’t see the camera icon in your comment box, you should receive the option in the next few days.
he new addition could transform the social network into a more meme and teen-friendly zone, as photos turn commenting into a more playful activity. Facebook also updated its iOS app recently adding the ability for users to add status update icons, improved privacy controls and other features. The feature has been added ahead of Facebook’s event on June 20 where it is expected to introduce video sharing features on Instagram.
