How Facebook Reactions Work
People have been begging Facebook for a dislike button. Looks like it has finally arrived as “Reactions”. This feature was long ago released in places outside the United States.
Facebook Reactions is a set of emojis that you and your audience can use to give insights into how they feel on a Facebook post.
The available “Reaction” emojis are “like”, “love”, “haha”, “wow”, “sad” and “angry” buttons. There was also a “yay”, but it caused confusion in test markets, so it was removed from the official US launch.

On your machine

– choose the emoji that fits best how you feel
On your mobile
– press and hold on “Like”
– emoji “Reactions” will pop up
– choose the emoji that fits best how you feel
Once you have added your “reaction” Facebook will display it on the regular area for likes among everyone else’s reaction.
