Facebook is an incredibly popular social media platform, with almost 3 billion active users worldwide. It allows people to share photos, videos, and text with their friends and family all around the world. However, it is important to remember that these platforms also come with potential risks and drawbacks. One such risk is that our posts can be seen by unwanted viewers or even end up in the wrong hands. By hiding likes and comments, you can shift your focus from chasing engagement numbers to creating content that truly resonates with your target audience. This can lead to higher-quality content that is authentic, valuable, and shareable, which can help increase visibility and reach as users are more likely to engage with and share meaningful content.
Fortunately, there are ways to protect yourself and manage your online profile. As sometimes we may want to hide our likes or comments so that others are not able to view them. This blog will provide helpful tips on how to hide likes and comments from other Facebook users. So, let’s get started;
Step 1: Log in to Your Facebook Account
To begin, log in to your Facebook account using your username and password. Once you have successfully logged in, you will be directed to the news feed.
Step 2: Find the Post You Want to Hide Likes and Comments On
Now that you are logged in, locate the post for which you want to hide likes and comments. You can find a post by scrolling through your news feed, searching for the post in the search bar, or viewing it from your profile.
Step 3: Click on the Three Dots (More Options)
