Facebook keeps on updating its social website with interesting features which sometimes turn into annoying ones.

But this time Facebook has got an update which we all were long waiting for.

Can you guess? It's the sweet reaction GIF which has finally got its place on Facebook.

After a months-long test of the feature, Facebook has announced that it's finally rolling out support for GIFs in Facebook comments.

Interesting! Isn't it?

From today, anyone can add a GIF to a Facebook comment using a new GIF button that appears alongside the emoji picker.

Much like the GIF button in Facebook Messenger, the new GIF comments are sourced from Facebook's GIF partners, including Giphy, Tenor, and Disney.

But, wait. There are also a few limitations. 

Though you can search for GIFs using the feature's built-in search, adding a specific GIF you have in mind may be a bit more difficult. You can't upload your own GIFs or post GIFs via a URL like you can with a normal Facebook post.

Facebook users exchanged nearly 13 billion GIFs on Messenger in 2016 alone, according to the company, which works out to about 25,000 GIFs each minute.
