Facebook on Wednesday announced it was rolling out a feature that immune users to postal service a photo every bit a comment on any thread or status update from the Spider web site. The feature, a long overdue improver, was slowly activated for users throughout the course of the day and should be agile for pretty much anybody by now.

When I first posted about the characteristic, I had a few friends annotate they didn't have access to it via the mobile app, which is expected, because the feature wasn't added to whatsoever of the dedicated apps. The ability to use a photo in a comment was just added to the Spider web site, and mobile Web site.

In order to post a photo comment on Facebook from your smartphone, you lot simply need to visit grand.facebook.com using your mobile browser. The mobile site volition work on basically whatever platform, it's not just express to iOS or Android.

When you tap on Comment below a status update, y'all'll see a list of the current comments (if there are any), and yous'll also run across the normal text field at the bottom for your comment, only now to the left of the text field you'll see a new camera icon. Tapping on the camera icon volition let you add together a photo as a comment, be it i you take saved to your device or a new one yous just snapped with the photographic camera, just as y'all would using the Facebook Web site.

This isn't an ideal solution, but it's a solution nonetheless. Until the ability to postal service a photo comment from the dedicated apps is released in a time to come update, it volition have to exercise.

Sadly, it appears GIFs aren't supported yet.

Hey, Facebook, we don't care how you want to pronounce it, simply allow u.s. upload some GIFs!
