Facebook also allows its users to unlike status updates, photos, and comments. This feature may prove useful if you accidentally like a post or comment that you didn’t intend to._ ## 1\. Unlike a post on Facebook There are two different methods that may be used to unlike a status update or photo (otherwise known as posts) on Facebook: ### Unlike a post using the Activity Log Follow these simple steps to unlike a post using the activity log. 1\. Open [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com) and click the down caret in the upper right corner of the screen. _Select the down caret in the top right corner of the screen (Note: All source images are from a personal Facebook account)._ 2\. Select “Settings & Privacy” from the drop down menu. _Select “Settings & Privacy” from the drop down menu on the right side of the screen._ 3\. Click “Activity Log.” _Click “Activity Log” to open your Facebook Activity Log._ 4\. Click “Interactions.” _Select the “Interactions” tab from the Activity Log menu on the right side of the screen._ 5\. Select “Likes and reactions.” _Under the “Interactions” tab, click “Likes and reactions”._ 6\. Select the checkbox next to the post(s) you wish to unlike. _Select the photos or status updates (posts) you would like to unlike. Note that you may also use this method to unlike previously liked comments or post reactions._ 7\. Click the “Remove” button. _Once the checkboxes next to the likes you would like to remove are selected, they will turn blue. From here, click the “Remove” button._ 8\. Click “Remove” again to unlike a previously liked post. _In the pop up window, click the “Remove” button to officially unlike a previously liked post._ ### Unlike a post from your Facebook newsfeed Follow these steps to unlike a post directly from your newsfeed. 1\. Open your [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com) newsfeed and navigate to the post that you want to unlike. 2\. Locate the blue thumbs up icon underneath the post, this is the “Like” button. The button will be highlighted in blue to show that this post has previously been liked. _After you click the "Like" button, check to make sure that the thumbs up icon and text has turned grey. Note: All source images are from a personal Facebook account._ 3\. To unlike the post, click the “Like” button once. The text will turn gray and the thumbs up icon will turn white with a gray outline once unliked. ## 2\. Unlike a comment on Facebook When scrolling through comments on a Facebook post, you may find yourself accidentally liking a comment that you didn’t intend to like. To quickly unlike a Facebook comment, follow these two simple steps: 1\. Open your [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com) newsfeed and find the post that contains the comment you would like to unlike, then locate the comment within the post. 2\. Click the “Like” button to unlike the comment. Once the “Like” button is clicked, it will turn from blue to grey and the thumbs up icon will disappear.
