Dislike is a feature that is desired by many in the Facebook. New changes are coming from Facebook to the Messenger app that will allow users to react to messages that they receive. Facebook has officially confirmed to TechCrunch that it is experiencing emojis who are reacting to Messenger.
Facebook has a feature that allows users to use one of seven possible responses. One of them is dislike, that is, a thumb pointing downwards, which could be interpreted as a dislike. This reaction is not available for News Feed posts, but is a feature that many users have asked in the past.
"We're trying to find ways to make Messenger more fun and engaging. "This is a small test that will allow users to share emoji that best represent their emotions 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 recently announced that it is developing news feeds 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.
