More expressive Facebook reactions

An Emojery reaction is its own action

Out of the box, choosing an emoji in Emojery does not click Facebook's Like button, select one of its 7 native reactions, or post a comment. Facebook's own controls stay available and behave exactly as they always have.

That separation is the point. A thinking face, warning sign, thumbs down, skull, heart, or fire says something Facebook's fixed menu cannot, and it lands as a public count rather than as a nudge to the feed algorithm.

Posts, photos, Reels, and videos

The Facebook adapter is built for the surfaces Emojery supports today: posts, photos, Reels, and videos. The picker is placed near the existing action row when the page layout allows it, so the reaction belongs to the thing you are already reading or watching.

Stories are the one Facebook surface this does not cover, and they are exactly what a single-purpose tool like AllReacts exists for: a story reply is private and vanishes in a day, while an Emojery reaction is a public count on a permanent target.

Public counts without public people lists

Emojery shows aggregate counts. It does not expose a public endpoint for who reacted to a Facebook post, photo, Reel, or video. Anyone can read them, but submitting a reaction requires one provider sign-in in Emojery.

Your reaction history stays local

The extension popup can show your own recent reactions on your device. That history is for you; it is not uploaded as a public profile or social feed. The public layer is the count attached to the target.

Both controls by default, one if you prefer

Facebook's Like control stays visible out of the box and the picker appears beside it. If the native control gets in your way, turn on Hide original buttons in the popup and the picker takes that space instead. Reload open pages after toggling so the layout settles cleanly, and flip the switch back whenever you like. The Facebook everyone else sees never changed.

Hiding is the whole job of the veteran Facebook cleaners: F.B. Purity and Social Fixer strip reactions and clutter out of the feed. Emojery runs beside either of them: they take the native row away, it puts a richer one back.

The exact emoji → reaction mapping

With the off-by-default Auto-press original buttons setting on, an exact match drives Facebook's own reaction menu: 👍 → Like, ❤️ and the other hearts → Love, 🤗 or 🥰 → Care, 😆 😂 🤣 → Haha, 😮 😯 😲 → Wow, 😢 😭 → Sad, 😡 😠 🤬 → Angry. The native reaction is selected by its position in the menu rather than by its label, so the mapping works in every Facebook language.

A positive emoji with no exact match presses plain Like; a negative emoji with no match presses nothing, since Facebook has no dislike to press. Changing your emoji switches the native reaction the same way, and un-reacting clears only a reaction the extension itself set: anything you pressed by hand stays exactly as you left it.
