How to Use Animated GIF’s and Stickers on Facebook

Facebook – Animated GIF’s and Stickers

When we interact with people through any means of digital communication, we use more than just text. Not always, but when messaging with friends and family we tend to use emoticons and other fun images. When you make comment, statuses, and messages on Facebook, you can attach stickers and GIF’s to your words. Make your messages colorful and bright with the use of these images.

1. If you want to add a sticker or GIF to a particular post or message, just find the icon that looks like a smiley face. It’s usually located in the bottom right corner of the text box.
