When looking at someone’s profile, you may see their posts on your feed, then accidentally like one of their posts. What happens if you 'unlike' the post? Shelley Bellefontaine, July 2024
Facebook is a platform that allows you to find your friends and follow their activity on Facebook. You can also share your idea on Facebook by creating a status, uploading photos and videos, or sharing other people’s posts. Once on your profile, your friends will be able to see it on their feed and they can like, comment, or share your posts.
Your Facebook feed consists of everything your friends do on the platform – you can see what they’re liking, posting, commenting on, or sharing. Scrolling through your feed can be a blessing or your experience may not be great and this all depends on what your friends are doing.
If you’re stalking someone on Facebook, this may be an ex that you can't leave alone or someone you admire (which may or may not be healthy - but hey, no judgement here), chances are that you’re going to be on their Facebook profile a lot. Or since you visit their profile so often, you always see their content on your feed.
What Happens If You Like and then Unlike a Post on Facebook?
When you’re on someone’s profile, or you may see their posts on your feed, then accidentally liking one of their posts is inevitable. This can be embarrassing especially if you’re far down on their profile and you accidentally like something from weeks ago. To save yourself from the embarrassment, you unlike the post in the hopes that they don’t find out. If you’re worried whether they’ll be able to tell you liked their posts, then it depends.
If you accidentally like and unlike someone’s post on Facebook, chances are they won’t know you’ve done so. Depending on how quickly you unliked, they may not receive a notification on their phone. However, if they’re active on their phone and you took too long to unlike, then they are likely to receive a notification and see it.
If they’re not using their device during the time you liked and unliked their posts, then the notification is removed from their device as soon as you unlike it. Even if they go to their Facebook notifications, they won’t be able to see that you’ve liked their posts because the notification gets deleted as soon as you unlike it.
Tip: If you are on someone’s profile, looking through their posts or their pictures, then you can put your phone or airplane mode to cover your tracks. Before you do this, make sure to load up all of your content using Wi-Fi or data. Once it’s loaded, put your phone in airplane mode. If you accidently like something, it won’t be registered as your phone wasn’t connected to the internet. If you do accidently like someone, take your phone off airplane mode and refresh their profile – you’ll see that the like wasn’t registered. :-)
