Clicking Like
below a post on Facebook is a way to let people know that you enjoy it without leaving a comment. Just like a comment, anyone who can see the post can see that you liked it.
For example, if you click Like
below a friend's video:
People who can see the video will be able to see that you liked it.
The person who posted the video will get a notification that you liked it.
When you like something, this lets us know to show you other content that we think you’d also like to see.

) to express a specific response to something. Reactions include Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad and Angry.Posts that receive a lot of Angry reactions tend to be a factor in negative experiences on Facebook. We use Angry reactions to evaluate and rank content in Feed and reduce those negative experiences. For example, if we see that a post has a lot of Angry reactions, this may affect whether the post will be shown to other people.
Other ways to dislike something
You can hide, snooze or unfollow a post
or report something
that you dislike. This lets us know that you don’t want to see similar posts in the future.
