Use Emoji in your Facebook Status

How do I add emoji to my Facebook when I click 'like' on some posts or pictures posted from my Android phone?

Facebook has a new feature wherein when you click on the "like" of a photo or posts, there are different emoticons which you can choose but I cannot do it on my Samsung Note4. I already updated my Facebook version.

The reaction-emotion bug seems to be account-based (that means that you cannot see those reactions even on another computer while others can). There are no recommendations from the Facebook team on how to fix accounts that cannot have the emotions yet (though there are some claims that the reaction icons are available only for some countries, specifically for Ireland and Spain during its first testing days). But some people fixed it by going to "Apps" > "Settings" > "Applications" > "Application Manager" > "ALL" > "Facebook" (Marshmallow: "Apps" > "Settings" > "Apps" > "Facebook" and "STORAGE") and uninstall all of the updates for Facebook, force-stop the application, clear its data and cache, and disable Facebook. Then, reboot your smartphone and go back to Facebook to reenable and update it. You can also try change your country via a VPN, which might not that easy to perform on a Samsung Note4 (see our tutorial on [[Setup_VPN_on_a_Samsung_Note_10.1|how to set up a VPN on a Samsung Note 10.1). This may fix your problem.
