Facebook is working hard to bring even more interactivity to its platform. Last week, it had already announced that Facebook Live (its live video streaming feature) will soon be available to all users. And now Facebook is quietly adding a new “interactive” feature: a real-time notification of when a friend is writing you a comment.

It’s not a major update, no, but it might affect how you use Facebook. Now, when a friend is busy writing a comment on one of your posts, you will be notified in real time with 3 animated dots and the notification “A friend is writing a comment…” This is very similar to what already exists on Messenger, and it is very likely to make you want to go check out that comment straight away.

Some believe it is just going to make the whole thing funnier:
