Other Image-Sharing Options

When you’re posting a status update on Facebook, there’s a menu of items just below the text box and emoji menu that you might be interested in. Most of these options have nothing to do with emojis and let you do things like tag friends in the post, start a poll, and check in to a nearby location. However, if you want to post a picture instead of a small emoticon-like icon, use the Photo/Video button. Similarly, the GIF option is helpful if you want to add those to your status update instead of an emoji or in addition to an emoji. If you’re using the Facebook mobile app, find the Feeling/Activity option below the status text box or the Smiley Face icon next to the comment text box to insert those kinds of icons and images if your device doesn’t support the emoji you’re after.
