“Liking” something on Facebook is about to be a bit passé.
The company on Wednesday introduced sweeping changes to its social network that will let you react to content with a variety of emotions. The update is called “Reactions,” appropriately enough, and it’s been in the works for months.
Sure, you can still “like” links, photos and status updates, but you’ll also be able to select more specific emoji-based reactions to communicate “Love,” “Haha,” “Wow,” “Sad” or “Angry.” A “Yay” reaction was previously tested but apparently axed for the final version.
Sammi Krug, a product manager at Facebook, told The Huffington Post that the update is launching simultaneously on the network’s iOS, Android, desktop and mobile web versions.
