Facebook newsfeeds began to transform as ‘reaction’ buttons arrived on the social media site
Five emojis have been added alongside the seven-year-old ‘like’ button, enabling users to express a wider range of reactions to Facebook posts. There is a ‘love’ button (a picture of a heart) — along with buttons showing faces that depict different emotions: ‘ha ha’, ‘wow’, ‘I’m sad’ and ‘I’m angry.’
“It is an extension of the ‘like’ button and allows you to react to stories from your friends or you see in your newsfeed, not just by liking it but by expressing a lot of different emotions,” explained Facebook Product Design Director, Julie Zhuo.
