Facebook Rolls Out 'Dislike' to Messenger -- Sort Of

Facebook still doesn't have a Dislike button, but its Messenger app just received a collection of new stickers, including an image of a thumbs down.

In April, Facebook introduced stickers -- essentially, Facebook-branded emoticons -- to its web and mobile chat feature. The latest crop of images in its "Like" pack includes a sore thumb, peace sign, poke and, of course, thumbs down. The Dislike icon was first spotted by The Verge.

For years, Facebook users wanted a Dislike button option that would allow them to signal a thumbs down on posts or messages they don't like. Several Facebook community groups are filled with people petitioning for the Dislike button.

To download the sticker pack, users must access the Sticker Store inside the Facebook Messenger chat session on a web browser or mobile app.
