If you are an active Facebook user then you may have come across this news. Recently, Facebook has added ‘Reactions’ Button with five new emojis for love, sadness, anger, “wow” and “haha.” So now users can express their feelings more rather than just liking the post of their friends.

Here is what Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO has to say about it:

'Reactions' button 2“Today is our worldwide launch of Reactions — the new Like button with more ways to express yourself.
Not every moment you want to share is happy. Sometimes you want to share something sad or frustrating. Our community has been asking for a dislike button for years, but not because people want to tell friends they don’t like their posts. People wanted to express empathy and make it comfortable to share a wider range of emotions.”

He further added, 

“I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the right way to do this with our team. One of my goals was to make it as simple as pressing and holding the Like button. The result is Reactions, which allow you to express love, laughter, surprise, sadness or anger. Love is the most popular reaction so far, which feels about right to me!”

Still the ‘Dislike’ option is absent in the list. Reason being the company doesn’t want to give users a “down-vote” option. The new ‘Reactions’ button is globally out after being tested in Ireland and Spain.

How can I use this new ‘Reactions’ button added feature?

'Reactions' button 3You need to hold down the Like button on your mobile apps or just hover over it on the desktop to see the ‘Reactions’ button. Then tap either Like, Love, haha, Wow, Sad or Angry.

No users can show their “angry” or “sad” reactions on any content of the post along with “likes,” “loves” and “wows”. The disable function is currently not applicable of the same.

Facebook comes out with this ‘Reactions’ button after last year’s release of Disney-Pixar’s “Inside Out”. There we had seen five emotions, characters- joy, anger, fear, disgust and sadness. Make sure you use this feature well, as Facebook has brought this ‘Reactions’ button after one year of research.

  1. I’m the manager of JustCBD Store label (justcbdstore.com) and I am currently looking to broaden my wholesale side of company. I am hoping someone at targetdomain give me some advice 🙂 I thought that the most effective way to accomplish this would be to talk to vape stores and cbd retailers. I was really hoping if someone could suggest a dependable web-site where I can purchase CBD Shops Business Sales Leads I am already reviewing creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. On the fence which one would be the very best choice and would appreciate any guidance on this. Or would it be much simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?

  2. Good post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon every day. It’s always interesting to read through content from other writers and use something from their sites.

  3. An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you should publish more on this topic, it may not be a taboo subject but generally folks don’t talk about such topics. To the next! Cheers!!

  4. The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not disappoint me as much as this particular one. After all, I know it was my choice to read through, but I actually thought you’d have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you can fix if you weren’t too busy seeking attention.

  5. Spot on with this write-up, I actually believe that this amazing site needs a lot more attention. I’ll probably be returning to read more, thanks for the info!

  6. Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after going through a few of the articles I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely happy I stumbled upon it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back regularly!
