The new social networking tool is a “button extension” like “” and allows users to display six different emotions
It is possible to express more emotions on Facebook, beyond the traditional “I like”. With the new “Reactions” button, which was released yesterday, to 23.00, in Portugal, users can react to the publications of his friends with “Love”, “laugh”, “Joy”, “surprise”, “sadness” and ” Ira “emotions represented through emojis.
” It’s an extension of the “Like” button, “he told DN product director of Facebook, Chris Tosswill. “It allows users to leave more feedback than just a like, in pressing that button.”
The new feature will come gradually, during the day, to all internet users, not only on computers but also “iOS and Android.”
So far, only Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Chile and the Philippines have access to new reactions. There is, however, no date set for the tool to reach the rest of the world. “We will continue to test reactions in various countries until we are satisfied,” advanced the charge, revealing even “confused” is one of the emotions that are being studied to integrate Facebook in the future.
The button ” Reactions “, although still in the testing phase, required a great preparation by the Mark Zuckerberg team. “It represents a lot of work and research done by Facebook. We probe and interviewed our users, and we crossed the answers with the information we had about the reactions that were already left in order to comment.”
The the possibility of the tool encourage users to express more negative reactions, Chris Tosswill does not expect to occur. “People have always been able to write a comment about something they did not like, so I think this will not make Facebook more negative. I think it will only make people more comfortable to say how they feel and express their emotions “.
