Facebook now offers “Reaction Settings” for page owners. This new tool lets people manage reactions on their posts. Page administrators can control which emojis appear. They can limit reactions to only the “Like” button. They can also hide specific reactions they dislike.

Previously, Facebook users could react with six emojis. These included Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, and Angry. Page owners had no way to change this. Now they can adjust settings for each post. They pick which reactions stay visible. Unwanted reactions will not show up.
The change gives page owners more authority. Many businesses requested this feature. They wanted to avoid negative feedback. Angry or sad reactions sometimes hurt brand image. Now they can block those reactions. This helps maintain a positive space.
Setting up the feature is simple. Page admins visit their Facebook page. They click “Settings” then “Reaction Preferences.” They choose allowed reactions for posts. They save their choices. The settings apply to new posts immediately. Old posts keep original reactions.
Facebook tested Reaction Settings with some pages first. Feedback was mostly positive. Page owners felt more in control. They liked customizing their audience interactions. The tool helps avoid unwanted emotional responses. It supports a healthier online environment.
