Facebook has lots of tools you can use to boost group engagements. They can also help admins monetize their content. These include paid badges, QR codes, and stickers. Recently, the platform is testing new features to further enhance a post’s engagements. Facebook tests up and down votes together with new response stickers for groups.
In a tweet shared by Matt Navarra, a social media expert, Facebook is seen testing up to and down-voting for comments among Facebook Groups. Facebook members will receive a prompt about such a feature once they view a group post. After voting up or down, a user will also receive a prompt to add a comment on why he or she chose such a vote. In addition, new responses stickers were also added to support the vote. These include icons such as celebrate, curious, educational, entertaining, helpful, insights, kind, like a light bulb, love, relevant, etc. These new features aim to encourage more interaction among group members.
