Ahead of 20 June event, Facebook lets users add photos in comments

Facebook is holding a special event today at around 10.30 pm India time where it is due to show off a new product. One day ahead of the event, the company seems to have rolled out a new feature to the comments box on the site.Users would have noticed a tiny little camera appearing on some comment boxes. The feature lets users add a photo straight into the comment. We tried uploading a picture via the little camera and it totally worked.Strangely though the option doesn't appear to be universal. Not all comment options seems to be showing the camera and it doesn't look like Facebook has rolled it out to pages either.[caption id="attachment_890999" align="alignleft" width="380"]
