Facebook’s ‘like’ button has got some new company.
Facebook has been testing alternatives to ‘like’ in about a half-dozen countries.
On Wednesday, the social network started making ‘haha’, ‘angry’ and three other responses available around the world, including Malta.
In changing a core part of Facebook, the company says it tried to keep things familiar.
The thumbs-up ‘like’ button will look the same without the other choices cluttering the screen
The thumbs-up ‘like’ button looks the same, without the other choices cluttering the screen or confusing people.
Users have to hold that button for a second or two for the alternatives.
The rollout is expected to take a few days. Users can get the feature automatically on web browsers, but an app update is required on iPhones and Android devices.
