Facebook has rolled out a new feature that lets users post photos in comments. Previously, users can only add photos in comments by sharing photo link. This feature will be available only for user to user interaction. It will not be available for stories on pages.
After getting this feature, you will see a camera icon at the right side of comment box. Clicking on this icon will open a file browser to upload photo in comment. Facebook Engineer Bob Baldwin has posted a photo describing how this new feature works. See photo below.
Users can only add photo comments by desktop or mobile browser site. This feature is not available for mobile apps but users can see photo comments in mobile apps. It is expected to come to mobile apps soon.
This feature was originally built in hackathon by Facebook engineers. It is now being rolled gradually. With this feature, Facebook wants to make discussion better and appealing.
