What Facebook Reaction Emoji Mean

So what are the six new reaction emoji and how will they affect your timeline? Here’s a breakdown of each one.

• Like (thumbs up emoji) – does the same thing it always did. Allows you to show your approval, interest or support of the post.
• Love (heart emoji) – For when you feel a lot strong about a post than just liking it.  It can also be a way to show your affectionate support of a friend when then need it.
• Wow (shocked or wide “O” mouth emoji) – take it how you like. Wow can be awed and amazed by some news or just dumbstruck and unbelieving. You’ll know it when you feel it.
• Haha (laughing face emoji) – This might be the way for us chronic LOLers to break out habit.
• Sad (tear down face emoji) – Yeah, we all know how this one should be used. We expect this emoji to be very popular.
• Angry (red hot scowling emoji) – Facebook won’t give us a dislike button, but having the ability to voice anger makes up about 50% of all Facebook posts anyway, so why not at the emoji. Rage on!
