I don’t think such an action would be terribly upsetting to most people, but I guess it really depends on the friend in question and the topic of the post.īonus tip: This post explains why setting everything on Facebook to ‘Friends’ won’t fully protect your personal information. If you commented in a Facebook group, the method is the same, although you’ll have more options, with Delete sitting all the way at the bottom. Sorry about that!īottom line: If the person whose post you “liked” and then “unliked” has been using Facebook for a while they’ll know what happened because we all “Like” and then “Unlike” posts on occasion. The same method can be applied whether the comment was posted on your wall or someone else’s wall. I know this sounds pretty confusing, but that’s just because I couldn’t think of a less clumsy way to explain it. If they didn’t have Facebook open when you liked the post, they won’t receive the notification at all if you unlike it before they open Facebook on their device. However, if they refresh the page before viewing their notifications that will remove the notification for the “unliked” post from the list and they’ll never see it.Īgain, all of the above assumes the person had Facebook open when you “liked” the post. If they already had Facebook open when you “Liked” the post, they’ll see the notification that you “liked” it when they view their notifications even if you have already “unliked” it before they click to view their notifications. That notification will immediately be added to the top of their “Notifications” list. Just as soon as you click “Like”, a notification is sent to the poster letting him/her know that you “Liked” the post. Rick’s answer: Heidi, the short answer to your question is “maybe”.
I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings and I’m afraid this might! When I do that will the person who made the post know that I did it? Question from Heidi: There’s something that’s really been bugging me Rick, and I hope you can set my mind at ease.Įvery now and then I’ll “Like” a post on Facebook, then almost immediately change my mind and “Unlike” it.
