How to Delete Likes on Facebook

Facebook activated a ‘Like’ button on February 9, 2009. This button lets users show their appreciation and interest in posts and Facebook pages. Users on this social networking platform can like any content, such as comments, status updates, photos, videos, advertisements, and links shared by their friends and other users. But, the number of Facebook pages you want can collect quickly, causing flooding of posts in your newsfeed. Wondering how to prevent your feed from becoming overloaded with posts? Don’t worry because you can now easily remove all the likes from your Facebook account.

Whether you want to unlike previously liked pages, photos, posts, or anything else, you can easily do so by working on the methods described in this post. Remember, you cannot unlike multiple pages together at once. Thus, keep patience when you are filtering your Facebook likes and delete the required likes.

Remove someone who likes your page.

Note that when you remove someone who likes your page, that person can like your page again if they want. However, when you get rid of any user who clicks the like button on your page, it will create a negative impact on them. They will not love it when you ban them from your page. Also, note that users you have banned might still be interested in sharing your posts to other places on this social platform, but they might not be ready to like your page, discuss your posts, publish to your page, or message your page.

Are you confused about which likes you should remove or who you should ban on your Facebook page? It is recommended to ban users who constantly post spam content on your page.

Here are some important steps to remove someone who gives a thumbs-up to your page.

•     Click on ‘Settings’ at the top of your Facebook page.
•     Hit the ‘People and Other Pages’ option on the left side.
•     Tap to get the box next to the user you want to remove.
•     Click and select ‘Remove from Page Likes’.
•     Tap on the ‘Confirm’ button.

Why is it important to care about Facebook likes?

We all know that there are many pros and cons of using Facebook for business and creators. However, to take advantage of this platform, it is important to focus on Facebook likes. You can disable Facebook from ‘selling’ your likes to pages to prevent the risk that your friends would not get spammed by anyone, as you did a few years ago. Remember, you will still remain within the loop.

Need a detailed explanation of it? Here, we go!

When you started using Facebook everything appeared simple and good. Once you followed someone and liked a page, you started seeing these posts in your timeline (as you expected). Understanding how to enable follow option in Facebook to increase followers can help you expand your follower base and boost your chances to grow your Facebook growth.

Let’s understand it with an example assuming when staying consistent with Facebook, each user on average gets approximately 230 friends and is connected to around 80 pages/groups/events. 

Your Facebook friends like your posts, they upload content on their wall, convert people into their friends, play games, post photos, and pages also do the same. When all this happens, it will create lots of stories for your timeline. There will be competition among all these stories to gather your attention because Facebook cannot display you all as it might be a huge amount daily and also you can’t be available online every minute.

Facebook uses a measure known as ‘Edge Rank’, which considers your activity on the platform and decides which of your Facebook friends are more significant to you. For example, you write lots of messages to some Facebook users. This shows Facebook that these are the friends that you want to connect with in the instant. When you tag people on any event, such as concerts or parties, it allows Facebook to know who you hang around with. Facebook sorts content based on different metrics including these.

While showing content to the audience, Facebook considers only those posts that fans have previously liked or interacted with on a specific page. Unfortunately, just 16-20% of their audience will see their content because Facebook can’t show all of them at once on a single account. Luckily, those page owners have a solution in which they have to pay some amount to reach more of their fans. When your friends do not pay any amount to succeed in you, their content is likely to get pushed down by a sponsored story.

Conclusion

The number of Facebook pages you have previously liked can impact the relevancy of your friend’s posts. The more pages you have liked, the more chances that the relevancy of your friend’s posts has to get ‘bought down’ by ad-driven pages on Facebook. So, it is highly important to get rid of likes from Facebook. Hopefully, this post will help you in removing the desired likes.
