Facebook Will Roll-out Its Emoji-filled Reactions Worldwide 'within Weeks' by NewsNewsBlog: 4:28am On Jan 29, 2016 |
FACEBOOK is bringing a slew of new emotions to its hugely-popular social network, thanks to a redesign to the iconic Like button, which is about to roll out worldwide. Facebook has confirmed it will be rolling out a new set of emojis – dubbed Reactions – to replace the traditional Like button. Reactions debuted as part of a small pilot program in Ireland and Spain, before trickling out to Chile, Portugal, the Philippines and Colombia, last year. But now the Californian social network is ready to roll-out the improved Like button to its 1.49 billion monthly active users. According to a report in Bloomberg, Facebook will begin pushing out Reactions to the UK and the rest of the globe "within weeks." Reactions appear as animated emoticons and pop-up whenever the Like button is long-pressed on Facebook mobile apps. Desktop users can hover their mouses over the Like button to bring up the new emojis. The new expressions will allow users to express a range of emotions including love, happiness, anger and sadness. Facebook hopes the inclusion of negative emotions will finally "address" the demand for a Dislike button on the Californian social network.
