Find out what posts you were liking over a year ago.

Published onFebruary 22, 2025

If you’ve had your Facebook account for a long time, you’ve probably ‘liked’ numerous posts and reels. Users ‘like’ content to show appreciation, acknowledge they’ve seen a post, or save reels for later viewing. If you’ve accumulated hundreds or even thousands of likes over time, you might wonder how to revisit the posts you liked or the reels you saved on Facebook from last week, last month, or even last year. For this, you can refer to the Activity Log.

QUICK ANSWER

To see the posts you've liked on Facebook, access the Activity Log. On the desktop, launch your favorite browser, go to Facebook.com, and log in. Click your profile icon at the top-right corner of the screen and navigate to Settings & Privacy > Activity log > Your Facebook activity > Comments and Reactions >  Likes and reactions.

On the Facebook mobile app, go to Menu, then select Settings & privacy. Select Settings and scroll down to Your activity > Activity log > Your Facebook activity > Comments and reactions > Likes and reactions.


JUMP TO KEY SECTIONS

How to see posts you liked on the Facebook app

Predictably, Facebook makes you jump through many more hoops on their app than on the desktop site.

  1. Tap on the menu icon. On Android, it will be on the top-right corner. On iPhone, it will be on the bottom-right corner.
  2. Expand the Settings & privacy option.
  3. Choose Settings.
  4. Scroll all the way down to the Your Activity section, and tap on Activity log.
  5. Tap on Your Facebook activity.
  6. Select Comments and reactions.
  7. Choose Likes and reactions.

Finally, you have arrived at your Likes page. Here, you can see your likes and visit the post page to unlike the post if you wish.

How to see posts you liked on the desktop Facebook site

By contrast, accessing your liked posts on the desktop Facebook site is a breath of fresh air.

  1. Launch your browser of choice and go to Facebook.com.
  2. Click on your profile icon, located in the top-right corner.
  3. Select Settings & privacy.
  4. Click on Activity log.
  5. In the left column, expand the Your Facebook activity section.
  6. Now, expand the Comments and reactions option.
  7. Click on Likes and reactions.

You can click the three-dot button on the right and select Delete, if you want to get rid of this like. You can also mass-delete posts on this page. Just check the All box and select Remove.

Can others see posts I liked on Facebook?

Seeing other people’s likes on Facebook was possible in the past. However, due to Facebook’s supposed aim of improving user privacy, it is no longer an option to see what other people like. Of course, this also means other people can’t get a summary of what you like. But there is a way that you can also hide likes and reactions on your posts.

The only exception is that, if you like a post, and anyone else can see that post, people will also be able to see that you liked it.


FAQs

Yes. To unlike a post, just click the like button again on that post, and it will be removed. Or go to the liked post in the activity log, and there is an option there to delete the like activity.

It is not possible to view every post that someone has liked directly on Facebook. You can, however, attempt a few workarounds.

  • Follow Their Activity: You can follow your friend’s activity by going to their profile, clicking the Friends button, and selecting Get Notifications or See First. This way, you’ll see their posts and activity in your news feed.
  • Ask Your Friend Directly: You can simply ask your friend about the posts they’ve liked or are interested in. They may be willing to share or discuss them with you.
  • Use Third-Party Apps: Be cautious with this option, as third-party apps may have privacy and security risks. Some apps claim to offer features to see what your friends have liked, but be sure to research and use them at your own risk, and always check their permissions and reviews.
  • Check Groups or Pages: If your friend frequently engages with specific groups or pages, you can join those groups or like those pages to see the content they interact with.

It’s crucial to remember that Facebook regularly updates its features and that its privacy settings and data policies have changed over time. Please remember that unless other users have made their likes public, you can only view your own liked posts and not those of other users.

If the number of likes is not the same as the number of users that you see after clicking the likes number, it means one of them has blocked you, or you blocked them, or they have deactivated their profile.
