Facebook announced a new feature today called the “Reaction Leaderboard.” This feature aims to make interactions on Facebook more fun. The leaderboard tracks how often people use different reaction emojis. These emojis include Like, Love, Care, Haha, Wow, Sad, and Angry.
The leaderboard shows users their personal reaction usage statistics. People can see which emoji they use the most. They can also see how their usage compares to friends. The leaderboard updates weekly. It provides a simple breakdown of reaction habits.
Facebook believes this feature adds a playful element. It encourages users to explore different ways to react. The goal is to spark lighthearted conversations. People might notice their friends favor certain reactions. This could lead to fun discussions about why.
“We saw people enjoy seeing their reaction habits,” said a Facebook spokesperson. “The Reaction Leaderboard makes this visible. It’s a small way to add more enjoyment to connecting with friends. We hope people find it interesting.”
The feature is designed to be simple. Users access it through their profile menu. The leaderboard displays a clear list of their top reactions. It also shows the total number of reactions given that week. No complex analysis is involved.
Facebook emphasizes the leaderboard is for entertainment only. It does not change how reactions work on posts. Reaction counts on posts remain unchanged. The leaderboard focuses solely on individual user habits. Privacy settings control who can see a user’s leaderboard.
