At last! Facebook is embracing animated GIFs.

To make them work, simply paste the URL of an animated GIF into Facebook’s “update status” field. You can then add text as usual. (Gorburger not included.)

Uploading an animated GIF from your computer using the “add photos/video” function does not work at this time.

A representative for Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post about why animations are working after so much time without them. At least one workaround has cropped up before, though this is the most straightforward functionality yet.

The Next Web reported that the feature is still rolling out to users, so hold tight if it’s not working for you yet.
