The Facebook “like” feature – introduced in 2009 – has become kind of a big deal.
In an age when we document our (best) lives on social media for the world to see, we pretty much judge our self-worth by the number of “likes” a photo gets. Not to mention, the “like” button has caused countless arguments among couples globally (you know what we’re talking about). The “like” button is also a way to remind your friends that you’re still alive and care about them with the most minimal effort possible.
Most of us have probably “liked” hundreds, likely thousands, of Facebook photos in the past six years.
Now, there’s an easy way to see all the pictures that you, your friends, and even some public figures have ever liked. Thanks to Facebook’s graph search, you can see all the photos you, your friends, and even some public figures have liked over the years.
Here’s how:
Once you’ve decided on who you’re going to search, type “photos liked by,” and their name into the Facebook search bar and hit enter. A page with some of the person’s liked photos will appear. Clicking a “See More” link at the bottom of the screen will allow you to scroll through all of their liked photos.
The trick can reveal potential online crushes (so approach with caution), who’s the most vain (as in, who likes the most pictures of themselves), and interests you never knew your friends had. There are, inevitably, a few restrictions. If you’re not friends with the person who posted a photo that your friend liked, you might not be able to see it, depending on the poster’s privacy settings.
You can also use the trick on yourself to reveal all the photos you’ve liked over the years by typing “Photos liked by me” into the search bar.
If you’re still bored, try searching your favourite celebrities. You’ll probably find they like-to-like a lot of pictures of themselves. (But if you were rich and famous, wouldn’t you?).
Either way, be prepared to say goodbye to a few hours of productivity.
