MANILA, Philippines – Facebook is rolling out a new feature for its users, allowing them to comment on people’s status messages by uploading pictures of their own.

According to Facebook engineer Bob Baldwin, the photo commenting system was originally built during a hackathon. It was turned into a Facebook feature over time out of Baldwin’s interest in doing more than linking images to comments.

The move is an interesting one, as it makes Facebook a better place for people to create threads for sharing pictures, and can also be used for groups to have threads with humorous memes. 

If you see a camera icon on the right side of a commenting box, you have access to photo commenting and should be able to give it a try. – Rappler.com
