This reaction has started to be available to users in the Facebook app and desktop version and will be seen in a few days if you don’t have a show yet.
Similarly, a beating heart is now available on Messenger and there is no need to explain how these reactions can be used on Facebook and Messenger.
After this increase, the number of Facebook reactions has increased to 7 and thus it has reached the number of 2015 which was given at the beginning of this new like button.
At the time, the Yay Emoji, along with six others, was included in the trial phase of the feature, but was removed when the Like button was introduced worldwide.

“We know this is an uncertain time and we want people to show their support to friends and relatives so they know you miss them,” the spokesman said
