Facebook is testing new emojis that will give users more options than just a simple \u201clike\u201d.<\/p>\n
Ever since the introduction of a \u201clike\u201d button, Facebook users have been asking for more ways to express their emotions online. Many people have even called for a \u201cdislike\u201d button to show their discontent. Sure that\u2019s a little harsh, but many of Facebook\u2019s users agreed that they\u2019d like to see a wider variety of emotive options.<\/p>\n
Last month Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder of Facebook, hinted that Facebook was indeed working on a \u201cdislike\u201d button. The internet of course responded in a frenzy, spreading the word and making up details along the way.<\/p>\n
On October 8 Facebook announced that it was in fact testing new options to express emotion, but not necessarily in the form of a \u201cdislike\u201d button. Instead, Facebook is working on emotive response emojis (similar to those you use on your smartphone) in order to give users more options.<\/p>\n
This new feature will be called \u201cFacebook Reactions\u201d, and will give us the option of seven emojis expressing different sentiments. Facebook will keep the traditional \u201clike\u201d, but will also add a heart, a laughing face, a beaming smile, a surprised face, a crying emoji, and a furious furrowed-brow face. These emojis look strikingly similar to those on the iPhone, with the exception of the heart.<\/p>\n
