In the newsroom of the Facebook site, product manager Chris Tosswill explained in a short article that i new Emoji Reactions will be extensions of the 'Like' button and which will allow to express the right reaction of the user. Behind the choice of Facebook Emoji Reactions there were several focus groups and studies that led the developers to the choice of introducing six different extensions of the current 'Like'.

Here is the presentation video of Facebook Reactions.
