The facebook has been news of reason in recent times. First the announcement of the removal of links to malicious activity ‘malware’, then the function on mobile devices that allows automatic enhancement of the images to be loaded.

This time, it’s a feature that comes to social networking Mark Zuckerberg . From now on, it will be possible to publish pictures on facebook in GIF format.

This is a type of animated image, similar to a video. It was often see this type of images ‘GIFs’ other social networks like Tumblr, for example. Now is the time to introduce more facebook this feature available to users.

So far, to open a GIF published on facebook, it was

necessary to follow a link and open a new window to view the image, did that facebook could not stand such a format.

This will end, and we say it will, because this function is not yet fully functional, as reported by some users who have tested this new feature.
