Facebook is adding new “caring” emojis to its main app and Messenger
- With many of us continuing to stay at home, Facebook has become a platform for many people to connect with their friends, family, and neighbors during the current corona virus pandemic.
- To give us another way to show support and presence on their apps, the company today added a new ‘caring’ response – in the form of heart-hugging emojis.
- And a pounding heart that appears next to the ‘thumbs up’ for likeness, essential heart, and emoji of laughter, shock, sadness, and anger.
- Therefore, “Care” was the first addition to the list of responses. It was expanded in 2015 with a simple “Like” button to allow people to respond to messages more empathetically and faster.
- The caring emoji (emoji face-hugging a heart) will appear on the main Facebook app.
- And starting today, a new reaction will occur on Messenger (in the shape of a beating heart).
- You can see a new heart by clicking on an existing reaction to change it or create a new chat reaction.
- “We hope these reactions provide additional opportunities for people to show their support during the # COVID-19 crisis,” a spokesman said today of the new emoji.
- “We know the time is uncertain, and we wanted people to be able to show their support so that their friends and family know what they think of them.”

- Another way to make it further useful and aligned with the kind of empathy we all need now right away.
- Moreover, Facebook is working on multiple levels to do something useful in the current health crisis.
