How to plane react on Facebook

Tags
 acebook’s new react emoji is here. The plane reaction emoji first appeared to Facebook users on July 31. We have only confirmed that the emoji works on Android.

There are unconfirmed reports, mainly from a Reddit thread, that there is also a fire reaction emoji. We are working hard to confirm this.

Here’s how to get the reaction to work for Android:

1. Update Your Facebook App

If you don’t have the latest version of the Facebook app, you need to get it. Go to the Google Play store > Settings. Hit auto-update apps and choose an option from: Do not auto-update apps. Auto-update apps at any time. Data charges may apply. Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only.

2. Clear the Cache



If you have the latest version of the app. Go to Settings > Apps > Facebook > Storage > Clear cache.

3. How to See the Plane Reaction

After you have installed the latest version and cleared your cache. Go to any Facebook post, hit comment. In the top right hand corner of the page, hold down on the thumbs up or like emoji, the plane reaction should be presented as one of your options. Some users have reported seeing a second angry face rather than a plane. In that case, hit the second angry face and the plane emoji will be added. To use the emoji again, you have to repeat the same process.

4. Rumors of the Fire React Emoji Are Unconfirmed

Reddit
There are still rumors about a fire react emoji that we are working to confirm.
A Facebook spokesperson told Fast Company about the emoji saying, “This was created as part of an employee hackathon and wasn’t cleared for takeoff. Our apologies.”

n the world of Facebook reactions, emotions are a tad limited. You can like, love, laugh, be surprised, cry, or be pissed. But Tuesday, some users appeared to be able to express… plane?
Tuesday morning, users on social media began to report that they were able to react with a new airplane emoji, in addition to their standard reactions. The revelation was not initially accompanied by an announcement from the social media giant, leaving users largely flying in the dark with the plane.
So, what’s going on? Here’s what you need to know.

It’s Not Sticking Around

When reached for comment, a Facebook representative told Inverse that “this was created as part of an employee hackathon and wasn’t cleared for takeoff. Our apologies.”
Facebook will not continue with a full rollout.

You May Be Able to Still Get It

For now, you might be able to still get the feature if you’re an Android user. Users who successfully got access to the reaction updated their Facebook apps to the latest version and cleared their cache from phone settings.
Once that’s done, you should be able to go to any post, click comment, and find the plane reaction, which is titled “react,” when you hold down the like button. Some have said that a second pissed-off face appears instead, and that the plane reaction appears when you click it.
Plane reaction.

Presumably, once Facebook issues another update, the feature will be gone.

Is It Real?

While Inverse wasn’t able to independently confirm that it worked with a non-iPhone, because everyone in our newsroom uses iPhones, multiple users have posted screenshots on Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. Additionally, You can find plane reactions on certain Facebook posts even if you don’t have access to it yourself.
There is, however, a scam going around telling users that if they comment on certain pages or like certain posts that they’ll gain access to the plane reaction. While that’s the oldest trick in the book, we still have a duty to tell you that that’s not true.

Will It Be a Future Feature?

Perhaps the most mysterious part of the whole affair was why Facebook would want a plane? The reaction doesn’t express a particular emotion, and could perhaps only be imagined to be used in the context of travel posts.
According to Facebook, they have no plans to roll out the reaction, which fits with previous decisions around their reactions.
In June, Facebook announced that it was scrapping custom reactions that it released with special holidays like the LGBT pride flag and the purple flower for Mother’s Day.
Reactions themselves are speculated to simply be another form of data that Facebook can harvest to sell to advertisers. While emotional reactions are certainly useful, a plane reaction doesn’t really fit with that model — information about users’ travel is presumably readily available from geolocation and keywords.
For now, a simple plane emoji in a comment will have to do.

Watch Party Launches Around the World

Tags
Today, we’re launching Watch Party to all Facebook Groups around the globe. Watch Party is a new way for people to watch videos on Facebook together in real 

time. Once a Watch Party is started, participants can watch videos, live or recorded, and interact with one another around them in the same moment. We’ve been 

focused on building new ways to bring people together around video, create connections, and ignite conversations; Watch Party is the next step in bringing this vision to life.
We are now starting to test the ability for people to start Watch Parties with friends outside of groups, too, and we’ll explore Watch Parties for Pages in the future. We believe that if people can start a Watch Party directly from their profile or from a video they’re watching, the experience of watching video on Facebook can become even more fun and social.
Watch Party in Groups
We’ve been encouraged by feedback from groups using Watch Party as we’ve been testing and rolling out. We’ve heard from group leaders that they’re excited to use Watch Party for things like: hosting Q&As around particular hobbies such as cooking or crafting, sharing behind the scenes details of a video, swapping tips and tricks for things like home improvement, decorating, or makeup tutorials with members in real time, learning new things like a workout technique or musical skills, and inviting special guests to join their Watch Party.
In our testing, we’ve seen Watch Parties, both big and small, with highly engaged members often generating hundreds or even thousands of comments while watching videos together. There were even groups that dedicated more than 10 hours to a single Watch Party, with different members coming in and out throughout the day.
We’ve heard Watch Party can be useful for smaller communities, too. For example, recently a group with less than 10 people recently hosted a Watch Party with more than 500 comments. Some describe how this shared viewing experience can be used to bridge distance between close friends and family when they can’t physically be together. Imagine sitting down to watch a loved one’s graduation video with your extended family when they couldn’t be there in person, reliving a vacation by sharing videos and swapping memories, or even just hanging out with friends watching funny videos together. The possibilities are endless.
For example:
  • The Dogspotting Society Group has used Watch Party to enjoy funny and heartwarming dog videos together.
  • Big Ballers – The Official Ball in the Family Group hosted a Season 2 Binge Watch Party so fans could catch up and get excited before the new season. They also hosted live Watch Parties from JBA games, giving the group the chance to cheer and discuss together while watching LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball compete in this new league.
  • This spring, royal enthusiast groups around the world hosted Watch Parties to watch and discuss Royal Wedding videos together alongside other passionate fans.
  • KARD, a popular South Korean K-Pop group celebrated their 1st anniversary by hosting a Watch Party with their fans around the world. They played a teaser clip for their upcoming album and new music video, and also included a Facebook Live broadcast with group members.
  • Fans of Facebook creator Markian have used Watch Party to watch his videos together in the #SmileSquad Group, and Markian even joined one Watch Party to interact with fans directly.
  • FIN, a secret women-only group with more than a million members that describes itself as a “no-judgment support group for women” of African culture, has hosted Watch Parties for members to connect and discuss various topics of interest to the group — from news to comedy.

Key Features

Based on community feedback from the test, we’re launching with two new features today:
  • First, we’re adding Co-hosting, which lets the host of a Watch Party designate other co-hosts who can add videos and keep the party going.
  • We’re also adding Crowdsourcing, which lets anyone in a Watch Party suggest videos for the host to add to the Watch Party.

Weekend of Watch Parties

To celebrate this global launch, we’ve lined up a Weekend of Watch Parties, when Facebook Groups around the world will host Watch Parties to connect their communities from 7/27 — 7/29. Check out a few of the groups who will be participating:
    • Buzzfeed’s Tasty Group is a community of foodies where group members share and discuss favorite recipes and cooking tips. The group will host several Watch Parties over the weekend: Friday’s Watch Party will be determined by polling the group ahead of time, Saturday will focus on cooking tips, and Sunday will consist of recipes to prep for a Sunday dinner with family and friends!
    • Physician Moms Group, a community that brings together women physicians — who are also parents — to collaborate and support each other while sharing their medical expertise, will host a Watch Party with videos around women’s empowerment, motherhood, and medicine-related videos.
    • Outdoor Afro, a leading network and community that celebrates and inspires African American connections and leadership in nature, will host a Watch Party for a video where its Boston Outdoor Afro community tackles Mount Washington’s Tuckerman Ravine.
    • Fitness Sisters, a community built around women supporting and motivating each other on their health and fitness journeys, will host a Watch Party with videos on the process of building healthy fitness friendships.
    • Red Table Talk Group will poll members about their favorite episodes and host a Watch Party this weekend featuring the top three. Fans will be able to re-watch and discuss with each other and may even get a visit from a special guest in the Watch Party.
    • Female Travel Bloggers, a community of like-minded women who write about travel and empower one another through advice and encouragement, will host a Watch Party with videos on travel and women’s empowerment.
    • The Broke Black Girl, a group that gives African American women a safe space to discuss personal finance challenges and find support, will host a Watch Party with videos around current events, women’s empowerment, and financial and career planning.
    • Echte Mamas, a German-based moms’ group discussing real stories, experiences, and anecdotes of motherhood will host a Watch Party centered on sharing tips and advice from other moms around the world.
    • Mama Tribe from Australia is looking forward to hosting Watch Parties to connect mothers in their communities including the Mama Tribe Gold Coast, Brisbane and Central Coast, who come together to develop friendships and share their experience of motherhood and common challenges in real-time.
    • Jamie Oliver’s 5-day Veggie Challenge will host a Watch Party for some of Jamie’s favorite veggie recipe videos — from sweet potato chili to aubergine daal — and will be asked to help select videos they want to see next.
    • Tia Mowry’s Quick Fix Fan Group will host a Watch Party of fan-favorite videos that feature Tia’s home life and family — from a marriage Q&A, to a conversation with Tia’s Dad and brother, and an episode about Tia’s newborn baby girl.

The 17 Most Expensive Materials In The World

Tags
For many centuries, lots of people have believed that gold is one of the most expensive materials in the world. This, however, is absolutely wrong.
 has compiled a list of materials of value, rating them from the lowest price to the highest one. Let’s skip ahead a bit: gold is not even in the top three here.


16. Saffron — $11 per gram

This spice is unique, combining fantastic taste and great health benefits. Its production process is highly time and effort consuming, but the flavor and healing properties of saffron are unequaled by any other spice.

15. Gold — $56 per gram

The most well-known precious metal that no woman can supposedly do without. Gold has been worshipped from time immemorial, and all things beautiful are inevitably compared to it.

14. Rhodium — $58 per gram

A metal of the platinum group and an extremely rare one. To give you the big picture, let’s say that one ton of earth crust contains about 0.001g of rhodium.

13. Platinum — $60 per gram

This is a rare and precious metal of a silvery steel color. Like gold, it’s highly resistant to acids, alkali, and other compounds.


12. Methamphetamine — $100 per gram

This is what the protagonists of Breaking Bad were cooking. It’s prohibited by law, and you’d do well if you don’t see it in person. Ever.

11. Rhinoceros’s horn — $110 per gram

Although science has proven that rhino horn has no medicinal properties, they are still considered valuable because of this property and as great knife handles. Because of poachers, poor rhinos are already on the verge of extinction.

10. Heroin — $130 per gram

An opiate that changes your perception. Once again, better you never see it for yourself. If the movies speak the truth, it’s very hard to get, and that’s probably why it’s so expensive.

9. Cocaine — $236 per gram

A drug that costs a fortune yet won’t do you any good whatsoever. This white crystal powder is a fatally dangerous narcotic. Its higher price, as compared to the one above, is explained by its ’purity’ and naturalness.


8. LSD — $3,000 per gram

A psychoactive narcotic substance, and a very expensive delayed death. The manufacturing process of this semi-synthetic drug is quite difficult, which explains the cost.

7. Plutonium — $4,000 per gram

A heavy yet fragile radioactive metal of a silvery-white color. Its uses vary from production of nuclear weapons and fuel to a source of energy for spacecrafts.

6. Painite — $9,000 per gram

This stone is so rare that very few people actually know it exists. It’s a mineral of an orange or reddish-brown color, and it was only discovered 65 years ago. There are just a couple hundred of these stones in the world today.

5. Taaffeite — $20,000 per gram or $4,000 per carat

A precious stone of a violet, pink, red, or white color. It is a million times rarer than diamonds, making it legendary. However, despite its uniqueness, it’s not very popular when it comes to jewelry — and that’s probably the reason why it’s relatively inexpensive.

4. Tritium — $30,000 per gram

This gas is used in lighting — for example, in tritium illumination. It costs about $15 million to produce a pound of tritium.

3. Diamond — $55,000 per gram

The most famous precious stone on Earth, and the best friend of any lady.

2. Californium — $25-27 million per gram

The most expensive chemical element ever. It has been synthesized only once since its discovery in 1950.

1. Antimatter — $62.5 trillion per gram

The most expensive substance on Earth. Production of one milligram of positrons costs about $25 million. In theory, we will be able to use antimatter as fuel for spacecrafts in the future. But the drawback today is that to make just one gram of it, all of mankind will have to work for about a year without rest.

Bonus: Jade stone — $170 million

Miners in Myanmar have found the world’s largest jade stone in a remote mine in Kachin State, in the north of the country. The stone is 14ft high and 19ft long, and weighs approximately 200 tons. This beautiful jade boulder will be sent to China, where it will be carved up into expensive jewelry and sculptures.
