Steps to Enable Care Emoji in Facebook and the Pumping Heart in Messenger
“As we’ve spoken with people about the kinds of emotions they want to convey concerning posts they see in their NewsFeed, Hug is one of the most frequently suggested ideas.”
This is why Facebook is launching two new "Care" reactions. It is the seventh reaction on Facebook in addition to the six existing ones, and a pulsating heart reaction on Messenger. The new reactions were announced late last week in a Tweet by Facebook’s EMEA Tech Communications Manager, Alexandru Voica.
Some time ago, Facebook decided it wouldn’t be adding any more special Reactions, but the current COVID-19 situation is extraordinary. As Voica explains, “We know this is an uncertain time, and we wanted people to be able to show their support in ways that let their friends and family know they are thinking of them.”
