I can’t be the only one who feels this way. Not being able to view people’s reactions to posts like you used to is lame. They should remove the new like button update and go back to the old format.
 
I hear you, it's definitely a change. But with these platforms, updates happen all the time. Best to adapt and focus on what truly impacts your strategy, not just the UI.
 
Looks like in the name of minimalism and modernization of their websites are they are forgetting the essence of used to give thrills to consumers.

I secondly this.
 
Changing the interface can make advertisers feel confused, but after a period of use, it will probably be much better, so you can gradually get used to it.
 
Any change can take time to get used to. But hiding reactions might actually make things healthier. It helps people focus more on the content itself instead of who liked what. You just need to get used to this new change
 
It depends on the person's point of view, but it cannot be denied that there are people who like it.
 
it feels way less personal now. Seeing who reacted to your post made things more interactive and fun. The new like button update just makes everything feel kind of flat. They really should bring the old setup back.
 
Yeah, the new one’s lame. I wish they’d just stick with the old version.
 
The new like button feels less interactive and makes engagement harder to track. Facebook seems to be testing too many UI changes lately
 
Any new feature takes a bit of adjustment, but hiding reactions might actually be a good move. It shifts attention toward the content itself rather than the number of likes, which could make interactions feel more genuine over time. It just takes a little getting used to.

Totally get it seeing actual reactions made interactions feel real. This new setup just feels hollow.
 
I don't know, I didn't like it, but now I'm watching it and it seems cool. Something new.
 
Yeah, the new like system feels less interactive the old reaction setup made engagement and feedback way more meaningful.
 
oh my god YES :weep:
I also feel like an old person now, searching for the normal like button like a lost key)
they literally break the stuff that worked perfectly.
FB, bring the old like back before it’s too late
 
It was better before and now it seem awfull or i can't convince myself to love this button/change
 
Yeah its do annoying I'm not an heavy users of social media and you just made me go over and check it :D
 
Being able to see overally engagement makes more sense foe sure
 
Facebook's ongoing user interface testing is taking its toll, particularly the move to a new Like button system that has been criticized for reducing interactivity and making it less meaningful and difficult to gauge user response and engagement.
 
You’re definitely not alone. Many users dislike the new reaction system, Meta’s update feels less personal and hurts engagement visibility compared to before.
