Facebook has finally launched the long-awaited "Dislike Button" but there's a catch... it's only for Facebook Messenger. According to Allfacebook, an unofficial Facebook blog, the site rolled out new stickers that allows users to tell their friends if they dislike something but it can only be used in a message and won't appear on News Feeds or walls.
Some users have asked the site to add a "thumbs down" button which would allow them to dislike Facebook posts and statuses but the site has yet to unveil one. Currently, users can only "like" the posts their friend's put up. Along with the "thumbs down" sticker is also a peace sign, a heart, a protest fist, a hand holding a bunch of flowers, a glass of Champagne and others.
The stickers are available from the Sticker Store in Facebook Messenger. The site also recently launched a "Donate Now" button which allows Facebook users to easily give money to non-profit organizations. The new button is featured next to posts published by the organizations on a user's News Feed. The new addition was first announced in a blog post and originated after Typhoon Haiyan.
When a user clicks on the button they will be prompted to pick the amount they want to donate, enter their payment information and immediately donate directly to the organization.
"In times of disaster or crisis, people turn to Facebook to check on loved ones, get updates, and to learn how they can help," the post read. "In November 2013, in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, we partnered with the International Federation of Red Cross to let people donate directly to the Red Cross's relief efforts in the Philippines. After seeing the generosity of people around the world toward this effort, we've been inspired to help everyone donate at any time, to the organizations they care about most."
The non-profits currently participating include: Oxfam America, Donors Choose, LIVESTRONG Foundation, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Water.org, The Nature Conservancy, Malaria No More, Girls Inc., World Wildlife Fund, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, ASPCA, RAINN, St. Jude Children's Hospital, American Cancer Society, Blue Star Families, UNICEF, Kiva, United Nations World Food Programme, and The Red Cross.
