Remember the rumor that the Dislike button was added to Facebook? Then you thought that Facebook would add an additional Dislike button along with the Like button to the post. But to everyone’s surprise, Facebook is now experimenting with multiple new button features. The new feature is called ‘Facebook Reactions’, which will be used to express users’ feelings.
In this case, if you click on the like button of Facebook or with the mouse pointer, you will usually get 5 more new buttons besides the like option. There are 6 options in total – Like, Love, Haha (Laughter), Yee, Wow, Sad and Angry.
Today we’re launching a pilot test of Reactions – a more expressive Like button. As you can see, it’s not a “dislike” button, though we hope it addresses the spirit of this request more broadly. We studied which comments and reactions are most commonly and universally expressed across Facebook, then worked to design an experience around them that was elegant and fun. Starting today Ireland and Spain can start loving, wow-ing, or expressing sympathy to posts on Facebook by hovering or long-pressing the Like button wherever they see it. We’ll use the feedback from this to improve the feature and hope to roll it out to everyone soon.
