If you’re a Facebook user in Japan, you may have noticed a new feature flooding your Newsfeeds: Pusheen, Meep, and the rest of the Facebook sticker gang are now making an appearance in the comments section of posts.
The feature appears to be specific to Japan at present, but members of the Tech in Asia staff report being able to comment with stickers on posts made by users who are located in Japan. If you see the smiley face on the right-hand side of the text box, you can comment with a sticker.
Facebook stickers, previously only available when sending messages or using the standalone Facebook Messenger app, are a new addition to the main Facebook page. It appears that the US-based social media giant is taking a page out of Line and KakaoTalk’s book with the new emphasis on stickers.
We’ve reached out to Facebook for comment and will update this post if they respond.
Facebook adds stickers to comments, but only if the post originated in Japan
