How to Unlike a Post From the Post Page
A quick and easy way to unlike a post is to access the post page and select your like or reaction. This works the same way on both desktop and mobile.
To use this method, first, access the post from which you want to remove your like or reaction on Facebook.
Once you find the post, click your like or reaction.
And Facebook will immediately remove your like or reaction from that post.
You’re all done.
How to Delete a Like or Reaction From Activity Log
If you can’t find the post that you want to unlike or remove your reaction from, use Facebook’s activity log to find all your liked and reacted posts in a single place. Here’s how to do that on both desktop and mobile.
Undo Likes From Desktop
If you’re on desktop, launch a web browser and open Facebook. Then, in the site’s top-right corner, click the down-arrow icon.
From the menu that opens, choose “Settings & Privacy.”
In “Settings & Privacy,” click “Activity Log.”
In the sidebar on the left, click Interactions > Likes and Reactions.
In the pane on the right, you will see all the posts that you’ve liked or reacted to, with the most recent post appearing at the top.
Here, find the post from which you want to remove your like. Then, next to that post, click the three dots.
To remove your like from the post, then in the three-dots menu, click “Unlike.” To remove your reaction from the post, choose “Remove Reaction.”
And Facebook will unlike (or remove reaction) from your selected post. You’re done.
Delete Likes From Mobile
If you’re on a mobile phone, launch the Facebook app and sign in to your account.
In Facebook, tap the three horizontal lines. On an iPhone or iPad, you’ll find these lines at the bottom-right corner. On Android, these lines are displayed at the top-right corner.
Scroll the “Menu” page that opens to the bottom. There, tap Settings & Privacy > Settings.
On the “Settings & Privacy” page, in the “Your Information” section, tap “Activity Log.”
In “Activity Log,” tap Interactions > Likes and Reactions.
You’ll see all the posts that you’ve liked or reacted to. Here, find the post from which you want to delete your like or reaction. Then, next to the post, tap the three dots.
To delete your like, tap “Unlike.” To remove your reaction from the post, select “Remove Reaction.”
And your like or reaction from the selected post will be removed. Enjoy!
