If there is something that has undergone immense changes since its inception, it is the Facebook “like” button. It has been subject to dispute, the passage of time, the conversion between realism and flat design. Many people hate him, and many more who practically live by and for it, as if it were a medal to the intellect. We have the latest innovations, and it is that Facebook redesigns the button from “like” to external web, although this time change has been minimal, everyone will notice. And whenever they do something, the guys at Facebook have given a good and founded explanation so that we better understand this change.
The Facebook “like” button is seen 10,000 million times a day, almost always accompanied by the “Share” button, there where they are. However, has now passed to have a design vastly similar, but more compact and less conspicuous, these are the reasons given by Facebook:
- Better for the mobile version: the previous button was designed when mobile browsing was not so widespread. 30% of the time that is pressed “like” is on mobile devices, so we have relaunched a version more affluent to the motives of this.
- Cleaner design: have modernized the button and the rest of icons, getting a more consistent design with a more streamlined design and one higher resolution allowing you to see it more clearly.
- Compatible with previous versions
- Integration in the “Instant articles”: these new interaction buttons you can directly embed Instant articles available from Facebook.
Facebook is a company that makes the most of the idea of the “renew itself or die” and is never to do so, so it seems a social network that never go out of style, because it is never outdated.
