Facebook is already set to celebrate Mother’s Day, as it secretly released new features to mark the occasion.

In Facebook’s Messenger app, a flower button will appear next to the text book for a limited time. Adding the button to your message will animate your message and/or photo with flowers.

The app has also added a special Mother’s Day-themed sticker pack, which you can check out for yourself here.

Facebook is releasing a special emoji for the day – the “thankful” for Mother’s Day emoticon will be symbolised by a flower that is only available for a limited time.

It’s not clear whether every country will receive these features, but more and more countries are reporting the new features as Sunday draws near.
