Likes need two clicks now?

[Square Wheels]

I thought when the new Likes was implemented, you could click once for the default Like.  I just tried and and needed to click twice.

I know it's sounds trivial, but that's a pain, and I suspect will lead to less Liking.

I just liked your post with one click.

Requires two taps on mobile.

I prefer the 4.2 way by far. You would need a huge amount of space to show all possible reactions. And space is precious in mobile.

Kudos to IPS for this approach.

It requires 2 clicks on touch devices (how else would you handle this?) but only 1 everywhere else. Once you hover over the icon, all possible reactions are shown and you can click on any of them => 1 click

Ahh, that must be it.  I have a new Surface laptop.  It requires two clicks.  Not intuitive, but if that's the way it needs to be...

Long press shows all options

short press is one click like

The problem is that they don't appear always.

Randomly it's possible to have luck with them.

@Charles Maybe something like that?

FB mobile site does tap = default option (like), long press = menu to select type of like 

[Makoto]

Oh. Interesting. It's always been two clicks for me because my surface book is technically a touch device.

Never really bothered me either way

Needs to be setup like stated in this quote. Seems like a simple solution. We need long and short press to be utilized.

Well you are missing a major point: in 4.2 you can have multiple reaction types.

In 4.1 and below you only had "like" as an option so, yes, it only took one tap because there was only one option. You can of course do this in 4.2 too if you do not want multiple reaction types. Just delete all but "like" and it will work just like it does in 4.1 and below.

I must admit this has been a concern of mine too. As mentioned I think a long press on mobile should give the options and then move to your selection, where you would then take your finger off the screen to select it = one press. One short press should = like.

We as a society have now degenerated to the point where we have to debate over whether or not clicking a button twice is requiring too much effort out of someone wishing to merely indicate that they like a post in a forum.

I understand what it does.  I was on my laptop.  Moved my mouse over the icon, clicked it, it did nothing until I clicked it again.  This wasn't my phone or table, but my laptop.  On my desktop, I move my mouse, click it, the default is then selected.  Seems like it should respond similarly on a laptop.

one touch = like, or predefined reaction if setted.

one press = show menu

Yes this!! Seems the most obvious and natural feeling approach.

[Square Wheels]

I know IPS isn't Facebook, and I actually don't like FB a whole lot, but I was just there on this same device.  Clicking the default Like link brought up the other choices, but also the first click selected the default like.

Maybe we could have something like that for mobile?

Any chance of this happening? Or even a hook to allow it to work that way? Probably not easy to change though

agree! 

[Mack_au]

If you only allow one reaction, I only allow "like" then it should just be an automatic one touch.

Wait, this isn't true for me. I have only "like" and still needs 2 clicks!

Another thing that we have noticed is that the amount of 'Likes' no longer appears on a post in mobile view as it did on 4.1.x. Is there any way to sort this, please?

[Durango]

How to solve this ? people complain they cant like posts anymore
