Request Accepted? Facebook Finally Tests Dislike Button On Messenger

The company is reportedly planning to add new emoji features and a dislike button on its messaging app, Facebook Messenger.

The social media giant is rolling out the button – a thumbs down – on the Messenger app and not on its main platform, including the News Feeds, according to TechCrunch. As per a new TechCrunch report, Facebook is testing out its highly requested feature, although it may not be where you expect it. Well, as you know, for some time now, the company has been experimenting with new ways to make online chatting more engaging and fun. The Dislike button come in Facebook messenger. That decision likely depends on how testing goes and whether users who have access to it provide positive or negative feedback to Facebook.

Facebook had rolled out “emotions” nearly a year back comprising of, a set of six emojis alongside the original thumbs-up to let users show their emotions with love, laughter, happiness, shock, sadness and anger emojis. If it works out as expected, the feature will be rolled out to the masses in future. Instead of going on a rant they can just hit the dislike button instead. Reactions are related to specific messages, and everybody in the chat will be able to see them. Users on iMessage can now long press to add a reaction like “thumbs-up” and “thumbs-down”.

Screenshots provided to the publication by one of Messenger’s one billion plus users shows seven different reactions.

Facebook has been testing a function which allows a user to use reactions such like symbol, smiley face, thumbs down etc. while chatting in Messenger application. Very often people use Messenger to coordinate and make plans. But now, we might finally get a dislike feature.
