Creepers, beware!
Image via PixabayA new Facebook feature is catching some people out.
The site has updated its iOS app to let users like a photo by double-tapping on it.
Tapping a photo twice on the app will now show up as a 'like', even though previously that action was used to zoom in on an image.
Some users say it will catch those who have been 'stalking' on the platform.
Social media expert Matt Navarra was one of the first users to spot the new feature and tweeted a screenshot of the update.

He wrote: “New! Facebook now let’s you double-tap a post to Like it on iOS.”
“Oh no. I do that to zoom in when I'm in full-on stalker mode. I am doomed,” a Twitter user replied.
The new feature is mirroring the way users 'like' a photo on Instagram. Facebook purchased Instagram back in 2012 and since then, Facebook has rolled a Story feature while the social media site has also promised that Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp chats are going to merge by early 2020.
