Facebook newsfeeds began to transform on Wednesday as ‘reaction’ buttons arrived on the social media site.<br /><br /> Five emojis have been added alongside the seven-year-old ‘like’ button, enabling users to express a wider range of reactions to Facebook posts.<br /><br /> There is a ‘love’ button (a picture of a heart) – along with buttons showing faces that depict different emotions: ‘ha ha’, ‘wow’, ‘I’m sad’ and ‘I’m angry.’<br /><br /> “It is an extension of the ‘like’ button and allows you to react to stories from your friends or you see in your newsfeed, not just by liking it but by expressing a lot of different emotions,” explained Facebook Product Design Director, Julie Zhuo.<br /><br /> “We’re doing this because we’ve heard feedback from people over and over again that they wanted more ways to be expressive, because people share a variety of things on Facebook.”<br /><br /> .Facebook game changer!
