But for all the time that Facebook has been around, users have only had one thing that they could do with a post on the site &#8212; &#8220;Like&#8221; it. While that works fine when the post is about something you like, it&#8217;s awkward when you&#8217;re trying to show support for someone who is posting something sad or shocking. Today, Facebook added a range of emotions to the Like button that can more accurately show how you feel about a post.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the traditional thumbs-up Like button, there&#8217;s also a heart to express love, a laughing face to show that you agree that something is funny, a shocked or surprised face, a sad face, and an angry face. Tapping or clicking the Like button displays the floating menu, and another tap or click adds your true emotions to your reply.<\/p>\n<p>As for the <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/35237-get-massive-storage-in-your-ipod-with-the-iflash-dual\" target=\"_blank\">post about bringing an iPod Classic back to life<\/a>?
