This article contains several methods on how you can insert a photo into a Facebook comment.

How To Post a Video or Photo in a Comment via the Facebook App
Whether you are using an iOS or Android device, the steps below should guide you on how to insert a photo into a comment on the Facebook app.
How To Troubleshoot if Facebook Won’t Allow You To Insert Photos Into Comments
The Facebook feature that allows you to add images to photos is time-saving. However, assuming you can’t access the feature or keep getting the ‘Upload failed, please try again’ error message, here are a few ways to troubleshoot the issue.
Change the Photo Format
Facebook supports images in the following formats, JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF, and TIFF. So, if your photo is in a different format than those mentioned, you will need to convert it before uploading. Additionally, ensure the photo is below 15MB. Assuming the picture has been heavily processed and can’t be uploaded, try uploading the original versions as some editing apps bump up the size of your images.
Update Your Facebook App/Browser Plugin
If you cannot insert a photo into a Facebook comment, chances are either your app version has bugs or is outdated. Either way, update your app or download the latest version of Facebook.
Technical Issues
The Facebook app can sometimes experience technical issues or be under scheduled maintenance, rendering most of its features unavailable. You can either give the app a few minutes before you try to insert a photo into a Facebook comment or use the website version and see if it’s working.
Unstable Internet Connection
If you can send text comments, but images are not uploading, your internet connection might be the issue. Uploading photos require faster internet speed compared to texts. For that reason, either switch to mobile data or move close to the router.
Conclusion
After reading and mastering the above guide, inserting a photo into a Facebook comment should not be an issue. If you’re unable to do so, then the troubleshooting solutions should be able to sort your problem. However, contact Facebook support for additional guidance if you still can’t insert a photo into a Facebook comment.
