To change who can see your likes on Facebook, follow these steps:
1. Log in to Facebook.com using your email address or phone number and password.
2. Once logged in, go to your profile by clicking on your name or profile picture.
3. On your profile, scroll down until you see the “Likes” section. If it’s not visible, click on the “More” tab to expand more sections.
4. Click on “Likes” to view all the pages you have liked on Facebook.
5. Now, click on the three-dot menu (usually located at the top right corner of the “Likes” section) and select “Edit the Privacy of Your Likes.”
At this point, you have several options to choose from in terms of who can see your likes:
1. Public: If you select this option, anyone on Facebook can see the pages you have liked. This includes your friends, friends of friends, and even people who are not connected to you.
2. Friends: By choosing this option, only your Facebook friends will be able to see the pages you have liked. It provides a more restricted access to your liked pages.
3. Only me: Selecting this option means that only you can see the pages you have liked. It keeps your likes private and hidden from others.
4. Custom: This option allows you to customize the privacy settings for specific people or groups. You can choose to hide your likes from certain individuals or create a list of people who can see them.
After selecting your preferred privacy option, your changes will be saved automatically. It’s important to note that changing the privacy settings of your likes does not affect the visibility of your existing posts or activities related to those likes. It only applies to future likes and the visibility of your likes section on your profile.
