Facebook launches new ‘care’ reactions for App and Messenger


Because of the outbreak of coronavirus all over the world, people have been locked inside their home for an uncertain period. At this crisis moment, finding no other ways, they have taken to social media platform as a means of communication with their friends, family and neighbors. Taking this issue into consideration, Facebook has come up with two new “care” reactions- “yellow face hugging a red heart” for Facebook app and website and “pulsating purple heart” for Messenger. These new emojis will give people a way of showing their support with one another amid COVID-19 lockdown. 

Facebook users will find these new reactions next to the existing ones- Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, Angry etc. Like many people, I am also eagerly waiting to use these emojis on the posts, comments, images, videos or other contents shared by my nearer and dearer ones on Facebook app, website and Messenger. However, the new “care” reaction for Facebook app and website is temporary, but there is a probability of it being permanent. Everything depends on the mood of the Facebook authority. 

In the end, I will request all Facebook users to make proper use of technology. Do not use it for disturbing or sexually offending someone. It is a punishable crime as well as sin. If you do so, it will also happen with one of your family members.
