Facebook is helping us to communicate our affection and support in a time when people can't express it physically due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Facebook has launched two new reactions to help us cope in communicating our affection and support for other people as the world faces the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Facebook tech comms manager Alexandru Voica announced the latest development on the platform on April 17.
People can now react with a “hug” on Facebook, and a “pulsating heart” on Facebook messenger.
He wrote, “We're launching new Care reactions on @facebookapp and @Messenger as a way for people to share their support with one another during this unprecedented time. We hope these reactions give people additional ways to show their support during the #COVID19 crisis.”
