Facebook finally gets a dislike button... sort of

Facebook finally gets “dislike”! Now, you might want to calm down and read through before you try to dislike that awful status message your friend has up. Facebook has introduced “dislike” as part of a sticker pack for Messenger. So, you will not be able to directly dislike posts, but can tell your friends how bad their plans are.

Dislike!

Ever since the Like button burst onto the scene, Facebook lovers the world over have wanted a dislike button to go along with it. Now, Facebook doesn’t seem to have any plans to have a dislike button on the website or the apps, but it has sent a silent nod towards the users clamouring for it. The sticker pack called “Likes” features the Facebook thumb in various poses, enough to satisfy your laziness on any occasion. The description of the sticker pack reads, “Give a thumbs up—however you like” Well, you can also give a thumbs down, it looks like.

The sticker pack

Besides like and dislike, you can send the Facebook hand with a heart, or a bouquet of flowers. You can have the hand make the peace sign, a fist, point to the right or even show a broken-thumb like. While people may just download the pack for the dislike sign, it’s a little disappointing to note that the pack is not animated. You can download the Likes pack on both Messenger for Android and iOS as well as on the web.
