Facebook's new "Reaction Button" not showing on Xperias?

ALDUB — Sat, 21 Nov 2015 08:30:24 GMT

As I logged in on my FB account via PC, I noticed these icons (buttons) on facebook:

I know most of us here are aware what are these. So, using the PC and hovering the mouse cursor over the "like button" gives you other options (or reactions aside from "like").

I researched and found out how to use these on facebook for android. Tap and holding (as to hovering on PC) the "like" button gives you these other buttons. BUT, on my xperia m4, these are not available.

I tried testing it on another device, samsung tab s, it is a success. both have the same facebook for android version.

Now I wonder if this is connected to brand or something?

Or any of you guys normally using these new buttons and I am the only one unable to use it?

That's not a Sony issue but the facebook app, perhaps some features are not available with all phones, keep in mind that you have to contact facebook regarding this as Sony has nothing to do with this.

it seems the issue is with facebook. you are correct buddy.

one thing also came up, kinda confusing...i first saw these buttons on my desktop, then on another device (tablet)..so as I was telling that they are not in xperias, then i checked my laptop, on the same browser, not there!

anyway, doesn't matter that much as a user.

Indeed, it seems to be a hit and miss at the moment

Something to let facebook devs know about
