So you might have seen an extra purple “thankful” flower popping up on your reactions feed. That is one of the few features added to thank and celebrate mums across the world for Mother’s Day weekend.
In addition to the reaction, Facebook is adding Mother’s Day-themed masks and frames to its Facebook Camera, available when you swipe right on the News Feed. These will be live on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 14th. Instagram users can decorate their photos now with a new set of Mother’s Day stickers, which work through direct messaging (Instagram Direct) and Instagram’s Stories.
Facebook said users should expect to see the option to send cards for other holidays in the future. The new Mother’s Day cards will also go live on Sunday, and some can be personalised with your own photos.
Finally, Facebook is allowing users in the U.S. to start fundraisers to donate to favourite causes in honour of your mom. You can raise funds for nonprofits, friends, or anyone or anything else that’s not on Facebook. This last one is live now.
