It was recently a friend\u2019s birthday. Facebook, being the helpful social network it is, prompted me to \u201csend her good thoughts\u201d.<\/p>\n

So I did.<\/p>\n

\u201cHope you had a rad one!\u201d I wrote. I hit Post, and my birthday greeting popped onto her wall. However, this post looked a little different. The word \u201crad\u201d was in a bright purple\u2026 and when I clicked on it, little thumb-up emojis popped up and flew across the screen, leaving colourful trails in their wake. What was going on?<\/p>\n

After couple of failed Google searches and some digging with the Developer Tool, it turned out that I had accidentally triggered one of Facebook\u2019s \u201cText Delight\u201d features. I had seen the \u201ccongrats\u201d animation before, but it looks like there are three \u201csecret\u201d animations in total. Here they are, along with the list of keywords that activate them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Updated Sept. 16 with new keywords for balloon animation
\nUpdate Sept. 29: Some users are reporting difficulties seeing the text delight animations. There may be differences based on your country or language settings. The animations appear best on desktop\/laptop computers. Mobile users may need to update their app.
\nUpdate Dec 7: A new animation has been spotted! Thanks John for the heads up.
\nUpdate Dec 22: Another animation has been found! Thanks to Christine and Merri for commenting below.
\nUpdate Jan 29: Added the BFF animation to the list. Thanks Tam, Dana, and Janelle for taking the time to comment!
\nUpdate Feb 16: Added yet another new animation\u200a\u2014\u200athanks to Tary for commenting! Luke and Stacey also report that \u201c<\/em>good vibes<\/em><\/strong>\u201d is activating a new animation as well.<\/em><\/p>\n
