Remember last month when Facebook announced they were finally adding a dislike button? People were thrilled. I mean, what could be MORE useful in an election year.
But now it looks like that might NOT be the plan. Instead of a dislike button, Facebook has started testing “reaction emojis.”
In other words, there’d be no option to click a thumbs-down to “dislike” a post. There would be seven different emojis to choose from.
The old ‘thumbs-up’ to like a post, a heart for “love”, a laughing face for “haha” a happy face for “yay”, a shocked face for “wow”, a crying face for “sad” and a mad face for “anger.”
Right now they’re just being tested in Ireland and Spain — there’s no word whether Facebook plans to take them worldwide.
