Facebook DISLIKE button on the way? New ‘thumbs down’ reaction has appeared on the Messenger app

A much anticipated feature could be on its way after users of the Silicon Valley site discovered a thumbs-down or dislike button, part of suite of reaction symbols on Facebook’s Messenger app.

• An emoji icon appeared for some users allowing them to respond to messages
• Change applies to chats taking place in the Messenger app but not the main site 
• Facebook launched ‘Like’, ‘Love’, ‘Haha’, ‘Sad’ and ‘Angry’ emoji’s in 2016
• Chat option includes thumbs-up and thumbs-down as well as other emotions

One of the most requested features for Facebook could be moving a step closer to reality.

A new thumbs down emoji is one of a range of ‘reactions’ that have appeared on the Messenger app of some users of the site.

The apparent testing of the new feature fits with long-running speculation that a similar function for the main site may also be on the way.
