San Francisco, April 17 In these COVID-19 times, Facebook on Friday announced to expand its like reactions on users' posts with a "care" emoji button.

The care reaction is set to be launched globally on main Facebook app and Messenger next week, and will be placed alongside the Like button.

"We're launching new Care reactions on @facebookapp and @Messenger as a way for people to share their support with one another during this unprecedented time," Facebook announced via tweet.

"We hope these reactions give people additional ways to show their support during the #COVID19 crisis," it added.
