This week in social media, Facebook began rolling out new options beyond its "Like" button and Messenger released for Apple Watch. Meanwhile, Twitter's first change under new permanent CEO Jack Dorsey rolled out and Pinterest added localized results for its huge international user base.

It's time for Social Media Sunday!

Facebook

The 'Dislike' Button is Actually Six New Buttons

As we've reported before, Facebook users have wanted the ability to "Dislike" a post for a long time, but while CEO Mark Zuckerberg wanted to expand beyond one button, he didn't want his massive social network to turn into up-and-down-voting Reddit-style chaos.

Now, according to Tech Crunch, Facebook has found the way forward and its rolling out the new "Reactions" starting in Spain and Ireland this week. It's likely Facebook will continue to roll out the feature in the weeks going forward, so users in the U.S. will probably start seeing it soon.

"Reactions" expands how users can respond to posts into six emoji-like buttons, plus the standard "Like." Zuckerberg has long wanted to alleviate the awkwardness that can come when someone posts a sad or frustrating event and loved ones only have the option to comment or hit "Like" in support. But the new reactions emojis also include different intensities of truly "Liking" a post: Love, Haha, Yay, Wow, Sad and Angry.

Messenger on Apple Watch

Facebook Messenger this week was updated to work with the Apple Watch. The Watch version of Messenger, according to TheVerge's hands-on trial includes support for sending voice messages, stickers, likes, and of course, seeing incoming messages on your wrist. The updated Facebook Messenger for Watch is a native watchOS 2 app available here.

WhatsApp with Google Drive Backup

As Facebook updated the Messenger app to work with Apple, Google this week also announced support for automatic Google Drive backups of Facebook's other messaging service, WhatsApp.

With the new update, you can create private backups of your chat history, along with backing up an extra copy of photos, contacts, voice messages and videos. You can set it to automatically back up your data on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, but it's only available on the updated WhatsApp for Android at the moment.

Twitter

Dorsey's First Change: Better Emoji in DMs

Now that Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has been confirmed as the full CEO of Twitter, expect some updates and changes to occur across the troubled platform. The first change came within hours of Dorsey's fresh tenure, according to Mashable. Twitter has updated the way emoji look inside direct messages, for both the website and mobile apps: They're now "life-sized."

The emojis are a lot bigger -- similar to the stickers you find on Facebook Messenger, BBM, and others. Along with the recent change allowing DMs to skirt the 140-character limit, it's clear Twitter believes its direct messages feature could compete with, or at least make up for some ground it's lost to, social media messaging services.

Vine Tweaks Recommendations 

The Android Vine app just got an update this week as well, and it should make finding new vines a lot more accurate to your tastes. According to TheNextWeb, Vine's new update adds a new "Similar Vines" button below every clip you watch, bringing up more of what it thinks you'll like based on what you've already watched.

It's based on a recommendation engine that looks at which Vines viewers tend to want to watch in succession, and that kind of system tends to only get more intelligent and accurate over time -- unless you're on YouTube trying to find Part 2 of the video you just watched, of course.

Pinterest

International Audience, Local Results 

People love the visual discovery of Pinterest's scrapbook-style social media apps. But as it turns out that about half of Pinterest's 100 million monthly users live outside the U.S., according to Re/Code, the company has decided to tweak its discovery engine so that results make more sense for those in other countries.

Rolling out first in France, Germany, Brazil, and Spain, Pinterest will be giving more localized results based on geography and language that better match the cultural tastes of those Pinterest users.
