What are Facebook reaction emojis?
Facebook reaction emojis are emoji icons that allow you to react to posts and comments on Facebook beyond just liking them. The reaction emojis include Like, Love, Care, Haha, Wow, Sad, and Angry.
When you click on one of these emojis under a post or comment, it registers your reaction to that content. The emojis provide a quick and easy way to respond with more nuanced emotions to content you see on Facebook.
Where can you find Facebook reaction emojis?
Facebook reaction emojis appear right below posts and comments on both desktop and mobile. On desktop, you’ll see the row of emojis below content on the right side. On mobile, the emojis appear directly under content you’re viewing.
To use a Facebook reaction emoji, simply click on the one you want to use and your reaction will be added. You can change or remove your reaction at any time by clicking again.
How do you use Facebook reaction emojis on posts?
Using Facebook reaction emojis on posts is a great way to quickly interact with your friends’ content. Here’s how to use them:
1. Log into your Facebook account in the app or on desktop and navigate to your News Feed or a friend’s profile page.
2. Find a post you want to react to. This can be a status update, shared photo, link, or any other post type.
3. Hover below the post and you’ll see the row of reaction emoji icons. On mobile, these appear directly under the post.
4. Tap or click on the emoji that best represents your reaction to the post. For example, click the “Haha” emoji if you find the post funny.
5. That’s it! Your reaction emoji will be added and the counter below the emoji will increase. Others who view the post can see that you reacted along with the emoji you used.
6. To change your reaction, simply click on a different emoji at any time.
How do you use Facebook reaction emojis on comments?
You can also use reaction emojis on comments to interact with your friends and join in on conversations. Here’s how:
1. Navigate to a post that has comments on Facebook that you’d like to react to.
2. Locate the comment you want to react to and hover below it.
3. The row of reaction emoji icons will appear below the comment.
4. Click the emoji that best represents your reaction to the comment. For example, click “Love” if you love what they wrote.
5. Your reaction emoji is now added below the comment for all to see. The counter below the emoji will increase as well.
6. To change your reaction, click on a different emoji at any time.
Reacting with emojis on comments allows you to give quick feedback on what your friends are saying in conversations. It’s a handy way to interact without having to write out a full reply.
Do Facebook reaction emojis notify users?
When you react with an emoji on someone’s post or comment, it does not send them a notification by default. This allows you to react quickly without cluttering up the original poster’s notifications.
However, users have the option to turn on notifications for emoji reactions if they want to be notified. Here’s how to do it:
1. Click on the arrow in the top right of Facebook and go to “Settings & Privacy”.
2. Select “Notifications” in the left menu.
3. Under the “Posts” section, turn on the toggle for “Emoji Reactions”.
Now anytime someone reacts with an emoji to this user’s posts or comments, they will be notified. Users can turn this notification setting off at any time if they start getting too many notifications.
So emoji reactions do not innately trigger notifications, but users can opt into receiving them if they want to know when someone has reacted.
Can you see who reacted with which emoji?
When various people react to the same post or comment using different emojis, all the emojis are displayed together below the content along with reaction counts. However, you cannot immediately see which specific person reacted with which emoji.
To see who reacted with a particular emoji:
1. Hover over the emoji you want to get details on.
2. A popup will appear showing friends’ profile pictures for each person who used that emoji.
3. Click on the emoji popup to open a list showing all users who reacted with that emoji.
So while you can’t see specifically who reacted with which emoji at a quick glance, it just takes an extra click to see the details on individual reactions.
Pages and public figures also have access to analytics where they can view reaction data like the most popular emojis on posts and demographic info on who reacted.
Can you react with more than one emoji to a post or comment?
No, Facebook only allows you to add one reaction emoji to each post or comment. There are a couple reasons for this limitation:
– It keeps the reaction experience simple and quick by limiting it to a single tap.
– Too many reactions could clutter up the space below posts.
– Seeing a bunch of emojis from one person could be confusing.
So while you can change your emoji reaction at any time, you can only have one active emoji reaction per post or comment at a time. Choose wisely!
If you want to react with multiple emojis to a single piece of content, you’ll have to do so in separate comments instead.
Can you send emojis in Facebook messages?
Yes! While Facebook reaction emojis are limited to posts and comments, you have access to a wide array of emojis to use in your Facebook messages.
To access emojis in messages:
– **On desktop:** Click the smiley face on the right side of the message box and select the emoji or sticker you want.
– **On mobile:** Tap the smiley face icon to the left of the message text box, then select your emoji.

Can you make your own emoji stickers for Facebook?
Unfortunately, Facebook does not currently offer users the ability to create their own custom emoji stickers. All Facebook stickers must be designed and approved by Facebook. This ensures stickers meet Facebook’s content policies.
However, you do have a couple options to get custom emojis:
– **Use the Facebook Avatars feature:** You can design an avatar with different facial expressions and clothing to represent you. Avatar stickers can be used in Messenger.
– **Suggest sticker ideas:** Go to the Facebook sticker store and use the “Suggest a Set” link to propose sticker pack ideas you’d like to see. If approved, Facebook may create it.
– **Use emoji apps:** Some third-party apps allow combining emojis to make custom stickers, which can then be imported to Messenger.
While you can’t make full custom stickers, these options allow you to get creative and add some personalized flair to your Messenger chats!
Can you use emojis in Facebook post comments and statuses?
Yes, emojis can be used in both Facebook posts, statuses, and comments to enhance your messages. Here are the ways to use emojis in these:
**Posts and statuses:**
When creating a new post or status update, tap the emoji icon on mobile or click the smiley face on desktop to open the emoji picker and select the emoji you want to add to your text.
**Comments:**
In a similar way, tap/click the emoji icon after typing a comment to add emojis to your comment text.
Emojis allow you to share more expressive messages. A few examples of using emojis in Facebook posts, statuses, and comments:
– Add emojis at the end of a status or comment to convey your mood or reaction 😄
– Insert emojis within text to replacing words or add colorful meaning
– Use emojis to decorate your text and make it stand out
– React to posts and statuses with just an emoji as a quick comment
– Create emoji stories by using multiple emojis to tell a story
Get creative and use emojis to take your Facebook posts, statuses and comments up a notch!
Can you report or flag inappropriate use of emojis?
Yes, if someone is using emojis on Facebook in an abusive, offensive, or harassing way, you can report their content to Facebook:
1. Click the three dots above the post or comment with the inappropriate emoji.
2. Select “Report post” or “Report comment.”
3. Choose the option “It’s abusive or harassing.”
4. Select the checkbox stating the abuse involves an emoji, then complete the report.
Facebook will review the reported content and take appropriate action, whether it’s removing the content, disabling the emoji feature for that user, or banning their account.
Some examples of inappropriate emoji use that you should report:
– Repeatedly sending unwanted or threatening emojis to someone’s profile
– Using racist or otherwise offensive emojis
– Sending explicit emojis or stickers
– Creating emojis to spread hate, bully, or harass
Reporting emoji abuse helps keep Facebook safe. If you see emojis being misused, don’t hesitate to report it.
Can I use custom emojis from other platforms on Facebook?
Unfortunately no, Facebook does not allow users to import and use custom emojis from other platforms or apps directly into Facebook posts, comments, or Messenger.
Some reasons custom emojis from other apps can’t transfer to Facebook include:
– Facebook has tight controls on their emoji sets to follow their content policies
– Technical limitations prevent outside emojis integrating
– Custom emojis could enable trademark infringement or copyright issues
– Custom platforms use different code and databases for their emoji libraries
While you can’t use other custom emojis in Facebook itself, you could potentially:
– Screenshot custom emojis and share the images
– Describe custom emojis from other apps in your Facebook text
– Provide links to custom emoji platforms you like
So while external emojis don’t transfer directly, you still have some options to reference them in your Facebook content!
Conclusion
Facebook reaction emojis provide a fun and easy way to interact with posts, comments, and messages on the platform. By tapping or clicking the different emojis under content, you can quickly share different reactions beyond just liking something.
With thousands of standard emojis and stickers to choose from, you have plenty of options to express yourself and react to your Facebook friends. Just be aware that overusing emojis can seem excessive.
While Facebook limits emojis to their approved sets for content policy reasons, you can get creative by mixing up emoji combinations in messenger or suggesting new sticker pack ideas. Use emojis to add personality to your posts, comments, and messages on Facebook!
