Chances are, you’ve ‘liked’ an awful lot of Facebook Pages over the years.
When Facebook first began, back in 2006, liking a page was a way of telling your growing number of Facebook friends what your likes and interests were, be they TV shows, sports activities, hobbies, games you liked to play, or places you enjoyed visiting. As such, in those early days, people tended to ‘like’ Pages with carefree abandon.
Things have changed, however, and the purpose of liking a Page on Facebook is now completely different. Nowadays, one ‘likes’ a Page in order to keep up-to-date with news and stories, promotions and marketing relevant to that Page. For example, you would like a local Coffee Shop’s Facebook Page in order to keep abreast of its opening hours, current house blends, events that the shop is hosting, and so on. Furthermore, harking back in some senses to those earlier days, liking Pages can feed into Facebook Dating, a sister-app that uses your ‘likes’ to show you whether individuals you’ve matched with share similar interests with you or not.
Very probably, you’d like to take a look at your likes, perhaps for nostalgic purposes, or to conduct a clean-up, unliking Pages which no longer hold any relevance to you, thus unclogging your News Feed of all the content you no longer wish to see. First, though, you’ll have to find out how to view your liked Pages.
Thankfully, the process is pretty simple. Just follow the instructions below for PC and mobile app, to discover how to view your liked Facebook Pages:
