Facebook is working on a coronavirus… reaction button?

When Facebook introduced reaction buttons in 2015 that let you respond to a post with a heart or a sad face instead of just a “like,” it was a huge improvement.

Now, Facebook is working on a puzzling reaction button for the coronavirus era: a Covid-19 themed button.

Researcher Jane Manchun Wong, who frequently uncovers social media features in development, first spotted the new feature. Facebook has confirmed to Mashable that it is indeed working on the button, but declined to provide further details about its purpose or timing.
