Unliking a post will remove it from your list of pages that Facebook will target with advertisements. Here&#8217;s how. After you&#8217;ve read the post, you can either click on the name of the person who posted it, or tap the profile icon on your phone. To view the post that you liked, you must be logged into Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unliking_a_page_removes_it_from_the_list_of_pages_that_Facebook_uses_to_target_you_with_ads\"><\/span>Unliking a page removes it from the list of pages that Facebook uses to target you with ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To find out which posts you should like, you can log in to Facebook and navigate to your profile. You can then click the small arrow next to your name and profile picture to open a drop-down menu and select &#8220;More.&#8221; In the left-hand pane, you&#8217;ll see six tabs, including &#8220;Likes.&#8221; Click the More tab to view your list of favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on how often you use Facebook, you may be shown ads related to a particular page or activity based on your interests. Facebook&#8217;s algorithms also track demographic information about you. If you like pages related to animals, you&#8217;ll be shown ads related to animal adoption, for example. Unliking these pages can prevent them from showing you ads related to those topics. However, clearing your Facebook history will not remove the data.<\/p>\n<p>If you have too many pages in your newsfeed, it&#8217;s a good idea to unlike a few of them. The reason is that unliking a page can result in cluttering your newsfeed. You can also unfollow pages by clicking on the x under a page&#8217;s comments. The unliking icon will turn gray after you click it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unliking_a_status_update\"><\/span>Unliking a status update<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To unlike a status update posted by a friend, click the blue &#8220;Liked&#8221; button next to the post. If you don&#8217;t want others to see your update, you can hide this from the public by changing the settings for sharing content. Facebook users can like or dislike status updates, photos, apps, and redirected pages. To unlike a status update, you must click the Like button in the post&#8217;s activity log.<\/p>\n<p>You can also remove reactions and likes from posts on Facebook by clicking the &#8220;unlike&#8221; button. To do this, you must first log into Facebook and enter your email address and password. Scroll down the results until you find the post you want to dislike. Click on the name of the person who posted the status update to view their profile page. If you&#8217;re using a mobile device, you can click on the &#8220;Profile&#8221; icon to go to their profile page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unliking_a_photo\"><\/span>Unliking a photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone has liked your photo, you can unlike it. But if you accidentally liked the photo, you may want to hide it. Instead, click on the notification button and click &#8220;Unlike.&#8221; Then, you will see a notification about your likes, but not a notification from the person who liked the photo. This can be annoying if you do not want to see these notifications. But fear not! Facebook has a simple solution for that!<\/p>\n<p>To unlike a photo on Facebook, simply hover over it with your mouse. This will bring up a gray box with an eraser or pencil icon. Click this button to remove the photo from your wall. The notification will disappear after you have unliked it. But if you did like it accidentally, it&#8217;s still possible to reverse the action. Click the &#8220;Unlike&#8221; button again. Once you have removed your like, the picture will no longer show up in your feed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unliking_a_comment\"><\/span>Unliking a comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you must know about how to unlike a comment on Facebook is the method to click the blue &#8220;Like&#8221; icon. If you previously liked a comment, this icon will be blue. After you have unliked it, this icon will be gray. You can also like a page or comment. Clicking the thumbs-up icon will un-like a comment, but it will remain as a follow button.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have decided that a comment is not for you, all you need to do is click on the &#8220;Like&#8221; button that appears underneath the comment. Click the &#8220;Like&#8221; button to indicate that you agree with the comment. Once you&#8217;ve liked a comment, you can like it again, or delete it. To delete a comment, click on the &#8220;x&#8221; button in the left corner of the post.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"231\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-gIlsT6AlTU\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unlike a Post on Facebook If you have read a status update or photo you didn&#8217;t like, you may be wondering how to unlike it on Facebook.
