Thanks to Snapchat, we've all found ourselves doodling on our photos, adding extra elements like stick figures to amuse ourselves and friends. Now, Facebook also has a similar feature called Doodle, which lets you draw on any photo before posting it.

You can choose different colors and pen sizes, and of course, use any of the other features like cropping or adding stickers or text to the photo before uploading it to Facebook. It might not be as cool as the looping profile video, but it's definitely a new tool that makes Facebook a little more fun to use. You don't need to download an update either — as long as you have a device running iOS or Android, the feature should already be there.

Read ahead to see how to actually use Doodle and then start creating your own masterpieces!

First, open up Facebook and tap on the "What are you up to?" space.

Then, tap again on the Photo/Video option. From there, pick what photo you want to draw on.

Once your photo is uploaded, tap the Edit button.

Select the Doodle option, which is on the far right of the edit bar.

Pick a color — any color!

Just tap again on the color you want to draw with and it'll be chosen.

Change your pen size if you'd like.

This is a little tricky, so pay close attention. To change the pen size, pick your color first and then hold down that color. You should see a circle appear and the farther you move to the left side of your screen, the bigger the pen size will get.

Ta-da! You're done!

After doodling your heart out, hit Done and your photo is now ready to post. Now, go ahead and try it out for yourself on your Facebook!
