The new feature allows users to choose from a variety of options to react to posts they see on their news feeds.
We can now choose from:
Like
Love
Haha
Wow
Sad
Angry
Facebook product manager Sammi Krug said: “We’ve been listening to people and know that there should be more ways to easily and quickly express how something you see in News Feed makes you feel.
“Reactions, an extension of the Like button, to give you more ways to share your reaction to a post in a quick and easy way.”
The redesign had been tested in Spain and Ireland last year, but doesn’t include a ‘dislike’ button – something many users were hoping for.
