What’s Up With This New Facebook Plane Reaction Emoji, and How Do I Use It?

Does Facebook have a new plane reaction emoji?

Some Facebook users started noticing a new reaction emoji showing up on their apps on Tuesday (Jul. 31). So far, the reaction only appears to work on Android (sorry iPhone users) and not everyone can see it.

We at Gossip On This haven’t been able to independently verify the existence of a plane reaction emoji, because we all use iPhones, but there are a number of screenshots floating around the web.

There are unconfirmed reports (mainly via this Reddit thread) that there’s also a fire reaction emoji, but we haven’t seen anyone use that one yet.

Anyhow, these are the steps you need to follow to get the airplane reaction emoji to work on your Android devices.

Step One: Update your Facebook app.

If you’re not using the latest version of the Facebook app, you need to update it. Go the Google Play Store, then go to Settings. Hit the auto-update apps button, then choose one of the following options: Do not auto-update apps. Auto-update apps at any time. Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only.

Step Two: Clear your app’s cache.

If you’re already using the latest version of the Facebook app, you need to clear your cache. You can do this by going to Settings > Apps > Facebook > Storage > Clear cache.

And that’s it! After you’ve updated the app and cleared the cache, you should be able to see and use Facebook’s new plane reaction emoji.

How do I see the plane reaction?

After you’ve installed the latest version and cleared your cache, go to any Facebook post and “react” to it as you normally would with any other post, and the plane reaction should be presented as one of your options.

Some users have reported seeing a second angry face instead of a plane, so if that’s the case for you, hit the second angry face and the plane emoji will be added. In order to use the emoji again, repeat the same process.

Also, FYI, there’s a scam going around telling users that if they like certain pages or comment on certain posts, they’ll be able to gain access to the plane reaction emoji, but we’re here to let you know that it’s NOT TRUE. It’s not possible for you to be able to use a Facebook feature by liking/commenting on pages or posts.

How long will the plane reaction be around?

Facebook hasn’t announced that they would be releasing a new reaction emoji, which has raised a number of questions among users.

However, a Facebook spokesperson told Fast Company regarding the plane reaction: “This was created as part of an employee hackathon and wasn’t cleared for takeoff. Our apologies.”

So it sounds like this is definitely not a permanent addition and will only be around for a limited time. So, enjoy it while it lasts!

Bow Wow Throws Temper Tantrum on Twitter, Says He’s Quitting Rap to “Work at Gamestop”

WTF is going on with Bow Wow right now? Someone should go check on him because he’s having another one of those meltdowns again.

In a series of erratic tweets Monday (Jul. 30), the 31-year-old rapper/actor went off on his critics, said he wanted to give away all of his money, and threatened to quit music and get a job at GameStop.

It all started when someone on Twitter accused him of cheating on his girlfriend Kyomi Leslie. Bow Wow went all the way off on them, tweeting, “Bitch get the f*** off our timeline. U live in nyc! Dont be tweeting my wife that dumb ass sh**. For you get your f***ing block knocked off. Die slow bitch.”

Then Bow Wow went off on the rest of the world, including bloggers and “ugly I shop at Lane Bryant bitches.”

He tweeted: “I dont do cameras u stupid bitch! Come in my section recording! So we shut your bright a** camera down u got mad so u tweet my bitch. Id pay a bitch 1000 to slap the lacefront off yo dusty a**! This goes for the rest of you hoes! Leave me and mine the f**k alone.

“Yo! I’ma say it once and last! I’m tired of you dusty ugly bitches. Im not the one! I will go to jail over mine think Im f***ing playing. U ugly broke dirt around the neck a** bitches leave us the f*** alone. And I say this with love.

“I don’t give a f**k about that lil money or your cheap a** phone. Dont ever come for me or mine ever you ugly bitch! You can clown all day about me but once u put my girl in it I’m trippin! F*** this famous sh**.”

Bow Wow then said in another series of since-deleted tweets: “Ima quit all this sh**. Down size my home. Sale everything. And go work at gamestop. Id probably be the happiest man in the world. Trade my cars in and buy a PROBE.

“I hate all you fucking bloggers too! Shaderoom I f*** with. All you other gossiping a** hateful sites F*** YOU!” he said. “SMASH OR PASS BULLSH** I WOULDN’T F*** YOU UGLY I SHOP AT LANE BRYANT BITCHES EVER! F*** YOU!

“When I land I gotta go see my therapist. I SEE RED AGAIN IM [BOUT] TO DO SOMETHING TO SOMEONE TODAY! Mafukkas keep playing with me. This go for you bloggers to… I’m not done I got time today.

He also vowed to give away all of his money and posted a screenshot of him sending a fan $500 as proof.

“Im cash apping all my money away today,” he wrote on Twitter.” So if you want some free money yall can have it… Lets see if you think money makes you happy.”

Instagram Photo

Bow Wow also brought up how he’s set to join his mentor Jermaine Dupri on the upcoming So So Def 25th Anniversary tour, but because he’s the “one that stirs up stuff,” he’s considering not being a part of it.

“I really dont want to mess up the so so def tour so im thinking about not going,” he tweeted. “Im the one that stirs up stuff im always in the news jd nem dont need that. So if I have to fall back I will.”

Fans were quick to point out Bow Wow’s erratic behavior, and his name was a trending topic on Twitter for a couple of hours.

Bow Wow has since deleted all of those tweets and simply posted this:

Bruno Mars Has Already Found Cardi B’s Replacement for the 24K Magic Tour

Bruno Mars was blindsided by news of Cardi B pulling out of their joint tour to take care of his newborn baby, so much so that it’s being reported that his team is “scrambling” to find a replacement ASAP.

From TMZ:

Sources connected to Bruno’s tour—slated to kick off in September—tell us he’s without an opener and, so far, there has been no replacement made for Cardi. We’re told Bruno’s people were burning up the phones Friday … starting conversations with reps from a number of musicians but nothing is close to being locked down.

Our sources say Cardi’s decision to back out of the tour has created some issues … dancers were hired, costumes made and stage backdrops built.

Back in February, Mars announced that Cardi would be joining him on the final leg of his 24K Magic Tour. However, last Thursday (Jul. 26), Cardi announced via Twitter that she “understated this whole mommy thing” and she’s “not ready physically” and “not ready to leave [her] baby behind since doctors explained it’s not healthy for her to be on the road.”

Bruno was supportive of Cardi’s decision to stay home and enjoy being a new mommy and replied with a heartfelt message, saying that the “most important thing is you and your family’s health” and “you are absolutely doing the right thing.”

He went to say that he loved her and would “play Bodak Yellow every night in your honor” before ending his message with “Please give your baby girl a hug from me and a hug on behalf of everyone on the 24K Magic Tour. Love, Bruno.”

And after days of working overtime to find a replacement for Cardi, it sounds like he’s already found someone to fill her spot.

Responding to a fan who asked who would be taking over, Bruno joked, “I got a cousin learning all of Cardi’s songs right now. It’s gonna be great! He’s super excited.” When asked if he would reveal who’s really replacing Cardi, Mars said “Nah.”

With the tour kicking off in September, Bruno should be making an announcement about who will be taking Cardi’s spot pretty soon. Of course, Cardi B is irreplaceable, but I’m sure he’s found someone good enough to fill her shoes.
