How to See Your Liked Videos on Facebook: A Deep Dive

Want to revisit that hilarious meme, inspiring documentary, or informative tutorial you liked on Facebook last week? You’re not alone! Figuring out how to access your liked videos can feel like navigating a digital maze, but fear not. This guide will reveal the straightforward (and sometimes slightly hidden) paths to rediscover your Facebook video history.

The quickest way to see your liked videos on Facebook is to access your Activity Log. On the Facebook website or app, navigate to your profile, then to “Activity Log,” and filter by “Likes and Reactions” and then “Videos.” Alternatively, you can sometimes find them within your “Saved” videos if you specifically saved them after liking. Let’s explore this in detail!

Finding Your Facebook Liked Videos: A Step-by-Step Guide

Accessing your liked videos requires a few simple steps, which can vary slightly depending on whether you’re using the Facebook website or the mobile app.

On the Facebook Website (Desktop)

Here’s how to find your liked videos using a web browser on your computer:

Log in to Facebook: Open your preferred web browser and go to Facebook. Enter your email or phone number and password to log in.
Go to Your Profile: Click on your name or profile picture in the top-left corner to navigate to your Facebook profile page.
Access Your Activity Log: Look for the “…” (three dots) button on your profile page, usually next to the “Add to Story” button. Click on it.
Select “Activity Log”: From the dropdown menu, select “Activity Log.” This will take you to a page listing all your activities on Facebook.
Filter by “Likes and Reactions”: In the left-hand sidebar of the Activity Log, you’ll see several filter options. Click on “Likes and Reactions.”
Filter Further by “Videos”: Once you’re in the “Likes and Reactions” section, you’ll see a list of all your likes. Use the “Filter” button at the top of this list to narrow down the results specifically to “Videos”. Click on it, and select ‘Video Likes’.
Browse Your Liked Videos: Now, you should see a chronological list of all the videos you’ve liked on Facebook. You can scroll through this list to find the specific video you’re looking for.

On the Facebook Mobile App (iOS & Android)

The process is similar on the Facebook mobile app:

Open the Facebook App: Launch the Facebook app on your smartphone or tablet.
Go to Your Profile: Tap on your profile picture in the top-left corner (or the three horizontal lines – the hamburger menu – in the top-right corner, then your profile name).
Access Your Activity Log: On your profile page, tap on the “…” (three dots) button, similar to the desktop version.
Select “Activity Log”: From the menu that appears, select “Activity Log.”
Filter by “Likes and Reactions”: Tap on “Likes and Reactions” in the filters section. This might be accessed by tapping “Filters” at the top.
Filter Further by “Videos”: Similar to the desktop experience, tap the “Filters” button at the top and select “Categories”. Then select ‘Video Likes’.
Browse Your Liked Videos: Scroll through the list to find the videos you have liked. Tap on a video to watch it.

Alternative Method: Checking Your “Saved” Videos

Sometimes, if you liked a video and then consciously saved it, you might find it more easily in your “Saved” videos section.

Access Your Saved Videos: On both the website and the app, look for the “Saved” icon (it usually looks like a ribbon). It’s often found in the left-hand menu on the website or under the “Menu” section (accessed by tapping the three horizontal lines) in the app.
Browse Your Saved Videos: This section will contain all the posts, including videos, that you’ve actively saved. If you saved a video after liking it, it should be here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Here are some commonly asked questions related to finding your liked videos on Facebook:

1. Why can’t I see the Activity Log option on my profile?

The location of the Activity Log might vary slightly depending on Facebook updates. If you can’t find it directly on your profile, try looking for it under the “Settings & Privacy” menu, accessible through the downward-facing arrow in the top-right corner on the website or the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) on the app.

2. Can other people see the videos I’ve liked?

Generally, your likes are visible to your friends and potentially to the public, depending on your privacy settings and the privacy settings of the video itself. If a video is public, anyone can see that you liked it. If it’s shared with a limited audience, only those people will see your like.

3. Is there a way to search for a specific liked video if I remember the title?

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t offer a direct search function within the Activity Log specifically for your liked videos. You’ll need to scroll through the list. However, you can use the main Facebook search bar to search for the video title directly; if you liked it, it will likely appear in the search results.

4. How far back does the Activity Log keep track of my likes?

The Activity Log keeps a record of your activity, including likes, as far back as you’ve been using Facebook. So, you should be able to find videos you liked years ago.

5. Can I download my liked videos directly from Facebook?

Facebook doesn’t provide a built-in feature to directly download videos you’ve liked. However, third-party browser extensions or websites may offer this functionality. Use these with caution and be mindful of copyright laws.

6. What if the video I liked has been removed from Facebook?

If the video has been removed by the uploader or Facebook, it will still appear in your Activity Log, but you won’t be able to watch it. It will likely show a message indicating that the content is no longer available.

7. Is there a difference in how liked videos are displayed between the Facebook website and the app?

The content displayed should be the same, but the interface and navigation differ slightly. The website offers a wider view, while the app is optimized for mobile use. As shown above, the process differs only in button placement.

8. Can I delete videos I’ve liked from my Activity Log?

Yes, you can remove a like from a video directly from your Activity Log. Simply find the video in your Activity Log, hover over the post (on the website) or tap the three dots next to it (on the app), and select “Unlike.”

9. Does liking a video automatically save it?

No, liking a video does not automatically save it. Saving a video is a separate action. You need to click the “Save” button (usually located below the video) to save it to your “Saved” videos section.

10. I liked a video in a group, will it appear in my general Activity Log?

Yes, if you liked a video within a Facebook group, it will still appear in your general Activity Log.

11. Can I see the likes of other people?

You can only see the likes of others if their profile and the video’s privacy settings allow it. Generally, you can see the likes of your friends. However, you cannot access a comprehensive list of all the videos someone else has liked.

12. How do Facebook updates affect the way I find my liked videos?

Facebook frequently updates its interface and features. This means the exact steps outlined above might change slightly over time. Always look for options related to “Activity Log,” “Likes and Reactions,” and “Saved” content as starting points.

By understanding these steps and FAQs, you should be well-equipped to navigate the world of Facebook’s liked videos and easily rediscover the content you’ve enjoyed! So, dive into your Activity Log and start reminiscing!
