The time has come, ladies.

After years of begging Facebook to install a 'dislike' button, the folk behind the social media site have finally listened to their users, and will be trialling the feature on their messenger app.

According to emerging reports, the social media giant intend users to attach emojis to messages in much the same way we attach reactions to public posts.

But don't get too excited just yet because – for the time being – the feature will only be rolled out across a small number of users.
 

Commenting on developments, a Facebook representative said: "We’re always testing ways to make Messenger more fun and engaging."

"This is a small test where we enable people to share an emoji that best represents their feelings on a message," they added.

Up until now, the global corporation have railed against demands for a dislike button due to fears it would encourage online bullying and isolate potential clients.
