Dislike is a feature that many people want on Facebook. New changes come from Facebook to the Messenger app that will allow users to respond to the messages they receive. Facebook has officially confirmed to TechCrunch that it is experiencing emojis who are reacting to Messenger.
Facebook is testing a feature that will allow users to use one of seven possible reactions. One of them is dislike, i.e. a thumb pointing down, which could be interpreted as dislike. This specific reaction is not available for his posts News Feed, but it is a feature that many users have requested in the past.
“We're testing ways to make Messenger more fun and more engaging. This is a small test where it will allow users to share emojis they represent better their feelings in a message," said a Facebook employee.
Emojis with reactions are similar to those found in regular Facebook posts, except that they will be available in the Messenger app. The emojis will appear next to the message, signaling the user's response to a response.
Facebook seems to be planning to bring emojis with reactions to all Messenger users, but the time of their official release is not yet known.
Let us mention that the biggest social network said recently that develops feed news (feeds news) based on user reactions. So if users react with the "love" emoji to a certain post, Facebook's algorithm will show it first in line.
