Facebook on Thursday started updating its Android and iOS apps with an interesting new mobile feature that lets users add stickers over photos before they are uploaded.

With the updated Facebook apps (not yet in India), users will now see a new sticker icon while uploading photos to Facebook from (Android and iOS) apps, as first noted by Engadget.

Once the sticker (or multiple stickers) is added, its size can be changed, they can be rotated or dragged for placement over the photo. Of course, it can be deleted before the photo is finally uploaded.
