Facebook Adds Thumbnails To Photo-Related Notifications

Facebook is testing a new feature that adds a litte bit more context to your notifications.

Some users are now seeing thumbnail photos within their notifications, when that notification has to do with a photo. For instance, if you were tagged in a photo, or if someone commented on a photoed that you’re tagged in, you may see the new thumbnail next to the notification.
