Facebook's choice to update from just the simple like button to reactions has come from the rise of the emojis in our everyday life and how they are being used to communicate emotions.
One of Facebook's latest updates is instant updates, they are quick-loading stories from publishers that load on Facebook’s app 10 times faster than before.
