Today Facebook introduces “Reactions” globally. It’s not dislike button,but you can do more than “like”post. You can love it, laugh at it,wow at it,feel sad or angered by it. The new Reactions are an extension of “like” button.
“Not every moment you want to share is happy. Sometimes you want to share something sad or frustrating. Our community has been asking for a dislike button for years, but not because people want to tell friends they don’t like their posts. People wanted to express empathy and make it comfortable to share a wider range of emotions.” Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page.
If you’re not seeing those Reactions in your News Feed yet, though, I am here to help.
