Facebook is officially moving beyond its famous like button.
The social media company began to roll out its new Reactions feature Wednesday.
In response to requests for a dislike button, Facebook is rolling out reaction icons for users to more uniquely share responses to posts on their feed.
The reactions initially included six new emojis. In addition to like, users can respond with love, wow, haha, sad and angry. Each reaction is accompanied by an emoji.
The Associated Press reports that Facebook ultimately decided against a dislike button because it was deemed too negative and problematic.

"We studied which comments and reactions are most commonly and universally expressed across Facebook, then worked to design an experience around them that was elegant and fun," Facebook Chief Product Officer Chris Cox said in a October 2015 post.
But for fans of the Facebook's signature like button, don't worry, it's not going anywhere.
The automatic update will roll out to web users worldwide over the next few days. Smartphone users will need to update the Facebook app to see the new feature.
