You Can Finally Post Gifs Directly Into Facebook; Have An #Auspol Gif Party About It

You're so very welcome.

Want more Junkee in your life? Sign up to our newsletter, and follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook so you always know where to find us.

It has come to our attention, via a variety of savvy friends, that Facebook is now, finally, allowing gifs to be posted directly into your feed and comments. (At present, Facebook Pages do not seem to have been extended this honour.)

To make it happen, copy the link to the gif, and paste it directly into your status. 

We’ve taken the liberty of helping you choose your first. What a time to be alive.
