Things are getting more fun and expressive at Facebook. The big blue social network is finally moving beyond its quintessential ‘Like’ and embracing other popular emoticons under its new feature dubbed as Reactions.
Facebook was testing Reactions since October last year on a selected group of testers and today it has announced that the feature is globally rolling out to its more than 1.55 billion users. Reactions includes six emoticons depicting various responses such as love, laughter, happiness, smile, shock, sadness and anger. In order to add a reaction, you will have to hold down the Like button on mobile or hover over the Like button on desktop to see the reaction image options, then tap either Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad or Angry. In its News Feed algorithm, Facebook will count each reaction in the same way it counts likes.
