Who needs words when you can express yourself in GIF form?
Facebook has finally clued into everyone's favorite means of expression on the internet, and now will test a new feature that lets users leave GIFs in comments.
The concept is as simple as it sounds: as part of the test, users will see a GIF icon when they're commenting. Click on this, and testers can do a GIF search by typing in a keyword. This will bring up a selection of animated images to leave in response to a post. The feature works much the same as sharing GIFs in Facebook Messenger.
“Everyone loves a good GIF and we know that people want to be able to use them in comments," a Facebook spokesperson told us in a statement. "So we're about to start testing the ability to add GIFs to comments and we'll share more when we can, but for now we repeat that this is just a test.”
