In September, the CEO of Facebook - Mark Zuckerberg stated that Facebook was working on a way to expand its famous LIKE button. This is not just by adding the 'dislike' button, instead the button is gonna be more lovely and attractive.. Are you still gazing? 


Hereby the expansion is that the button is gonna express emotions. Its real and am not joking it will be soon blowing up with “Reactions”. A fabulous set of six emoji will accompany the original like button and will let users to quickly respond with love, laughter, happiness, shock, sadness and anger.

Facebook has said that this feature will start as a test in two markets - Spain and Ireland. The reason for choosing these two countries is that Ireland is English speaking, while Spain would let the Facebook to test out how well the wordless emoji play with non-English users.

There are few Social networks like Path and sites like Buzzfeed that already give users the ability to respond to posts with different reactions beyond simple likes. The reactions will work simply enough. On mobile, the emoji will come up when you touch the like button on your screen; on desktop they will come up as you hover the mouse over the like or click on it.

And the new set of reactions will appear across both mobile and desktop versions of the app and on all posts in the News Feed — Friends, Pages/accounts or Advertisers. At this point, there are no plans to put them into Messenger or other Facebook-owned products, said Mosseri. He also adds that some people were already using Stickers as a wordless way of registering their responses, but this will give them a quicker way to do this as “Typing on mobile is difficult and this is way easier than finding a sticker or emoji to respond to in the feed.”




It turned out that Facebook had even filed a patent for how such an emoji response feature might work and look.
