SAN FRANCISCO — It won’t be long before Facebook’s 1.6 billion users have more ways to quickly express their feelings on the social network.

After four months of testing outside the U.S., Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that “pretty soon” six new emotions will be added.

Zuckerberg didn’t give a more concrete timetable while discussing the new feature with analysts in a conference call Wednesday following Facebook’s latest quarterly earnings report.

The options will expand Facebook beyond the renowned thumbs-up symbol that people click on to show they like a comment, photo or video posted on the social network.

The new reactions will include symbols for “angry,” “sad,” “wow,” “haha,” “yay” and “love.”

“We want people to be able to share all of the things that are meaningful to them, not just the things that are happy and that people are going to like when they see it,” Zuckerberg said.
