Facebook now let you liven up comments by posting a GIF

Moving images can now replace still pictures in fun new feature

Facebook has just added a feature to their commenting functionality – and we’ve all been waiting for it.

What would we do without photo comments on Facebook?

How would our friends know how we really felt if we couldn’t post a meme of a shocked cat on their status?

Well, prepare for our social networking to get even better.

Wearable sales to double by 2021, says IDC

Now you can not only post pictures but also react with GIFs.

So that means that instead of a boring old picture of a cat looking shocked, you can comment with an actual moving image of a cat putting a paw to its little mouth.

This. Changes. Everything. Here are some GIFs you might like to use.

All you have to do is click or tap into the comment box as if you were writing one as usual.

On the right there are the normal icons inviting you to add a photograph to your comment (unless the page has disabled this).

Now you’ll also see a small rectangle with the letters ‘GIF’ on it. Click on this and you’ll be able to search any keyword you like.

The Giphy database, which is hooked up to Facebook, pretty much has any GIF you could ever dream of using – so fill your boots.

Watch the video above to learn more about adding GIFs to comments on Facebook statuses.

Global airlines are investing heavily in economy class cabins as competition for passengers shifts beyond ticket prices to the quality of the travel experience, prompting carriers to modernise fleets, redesign cabins and enhance onboard services in a bid to strengthen customer loyalty and improve long-term profitability. The renewed focus reflects a transformation in the aviation industry, where economy class, despite offering lower fares than premium cabins, remains the largest contributor to passenger volumes and an increasingly important driver of commercial performance. With millions of travellers continuing to prioritise affordability, airlines are finding that modest improvements in comfort and convenience can translate into stronger repeat business, improved customer satisfaction and higher ancillary revenues. As a result, carriers are directing substantial investment towards upgrading economy cabins through newer aircraft, ergonomically designed seats, advanced inflight entertainment systems, onboard connectivity, enhanced catering and improved cabin service. Industry analysts say the strategy is becoming a key differentiator as airlines compete more aggressively for passengers on both regional and long-haul routes. Unlike business and first-class travellers, whose numbers are relatively limited, economy passengers account for the overwhelming majority of airline traffic, making their overall travel experience increasingly central to airlines' growth strategies. Rather than relying solely on fare reductions to attract customers, airlines are seeking to build stronger brand loyalty by improving the value passengers receive throughout their journeys. "Passenger expectations have changed significantly. Travellers increasingly compare airlines based not only on ticket prices but also on comfort, reliability, connectivity and the overall onboard experience," aviation analysts note. Several of the world's leading airlines have already embraced the strategy. Carriers including Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, All Nippon Airways (ANA), EVA Air and Cathay Pacific have invested significantly in upgrading their economy cabins through improved seating, larger entertainment libraries, enhanced meal services and customer-focused cabin experiences. Although each airline has adopted different approaches, the underlying objective remains the same: making economy travel more comfortable for the largest segment of their customer base while strengthening long-term commercial competitiveness. Fleet modernisation is playing a critical role in that transformation. Next-generation aircraft such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Airbus A350 and Airbus A321neo are enabling airlines to improve the passenger experience while simultaneously lowering operating costs. Compared with older aircraft, these models offer quieter cabins, larger windows, improved air quality, better humidity control and greater fuel efficiency, creating benefits for both passengers and airline operators. The newer aircraft also reduce fuel consumption and maintenance expenses, allowing airlines to improve customer experience without significantly increasing operating costs over the aircraft's lifespan. Technology has emerged as another major area of investment. Features once reserved almost exclusively for premium cabins, including USB charging ports, wireless internet connectivity, mobile application integration and personalised digital entertainment platforms, are increasingly becoming standard in economy class. Passengers are also benefiting from greater control over their travel experience, with digital services allowing them to access entertainment, communicate onboard and manage various aspects of their journeys more conveniently. The growing investment reflects changing consumer expectations in an increasingly digital travel environment. Recent international passenger satisfaction surveys consistently indicate that airlines investing in cabin comfort, inflight technology and customer service continue to perform strongly in global service rankings. While competitive pricing remains an important consideration for travellers, customer experience has become an increasingly influential factor in airline selection, particularly on medium and long-haul routes where comfort plays a greater role in purchasing decisions. The trend is expected to reshape competition within Africa's aviation industry as airlines expand their fleets to meet growing passenger demand.
