Facebook is to finally launch one of its most requested features – a dislike button.
The social network has previously ruled out adding the feature.
However, Mark Zuckerberg announced yesterday that the firm has changed its mind – and is already working on it.
‘I think people have asked about the dislike button for many years.
‘Today is a special day because today is the day I can say we’re working on it and shipping it,’ Zuckerberg said during a Q&A session at the firms Sunnyvale headquarters.
‘If you share something that’s sad like a refugee crisis that touches you or a family member passes away, it may not be comfortable to like that post…I do think it’s important to give people more options than liking it.’
However, the firm did not say when the feature will be available, but said it will begin testing with a small number of users ‘soon’.
