Celebrate Mother's Day on Facebook with this special feature

Facebook has introduced a new feature which will let its users celebrate Mother’s Day in a special way. The new feature will allow users to send floral tributes to their mothers on this day. “For a short time (May 7-May 9), you’ll see a new purple flower icon in Messenger. Tap on the flower to decorate your messages - text, photos, GIFs and more - with colourful blooms. The person you’re sending the message to will see the flowers on their end, too,” the social media giant said in a statement.

Mother’s Day is celebrated on May 8. “We hope you enjoy sharing these sweet flowers as you celebrate....whether that’s by being with your mom, or by thanking all the moms that make up your virtual village, the mother-like figures you learn from and all your special friends,” Facebook Messenger said in its post.

Facebook has also rolled out new stickers just for Mother’s Day and named it as motherly love. The feature is active in 82 countries including India till May 9.
