How to Find Liked Reels on Facebook: 4 Steps via Activity Log
Open Activity log, tap Interactions, then Likes and reactions to find liked reels on Facebook. Plus saved reels, watch history and how to turn reels off.
Key takeaways
- Liked reels on Facebook live in Activity log under Interactions, then Likes and reactions.
- Saved reels are in Menu, then Saved, and collections keep them easy to find.
- Your reels watch history sits in Activity log under Videos you've watched and can be cleared.
- Facebook has no off switch for reels, but hiding the Video tab and tapping Show less cuts most of them.
- Reels monetization runs through Content Monetization, with eligibility shown in Professional dashboard.
To find liked reels on Facebook, open your profile, tap the three dots next to Edit profile, choose Activity log, then go to Your activity across Facebook > Interactions > Likes and reactions. Every reel you liked or reacted to is listed there by date, and tapping an entry opens the reel. Facebook has no dedicated "Liked reels" tab the way Instagram does, so the Activity log is the built-in route.
The same menus also hold your saved reels and the videos you have watched. Below you will find the exact steps for each, plus how to hide reels, how to post them, how to make AI architecture reels, and what Meta asks for before it pays you in 2026.
How do you find liked reels on Facebook?
Use the Activity log, which records every like and reaction on your account. Menu labels shift slightly between app versions and regions, but the path below matches the current iPhone, Android and desktop layouts.
On the Facebook app (iPhone and Android)
- Tap your profile picture to open your profile.
- Tap the three dots (...) next to Edit profile, then tap Activity log. If you do not see it, go to Menu > Settings & privacy > Settings and tap Activity log under Your activity.
- Tap Your activity across Facebook, then Interactions, then Likes and reactions.
- Scroll or tap Filter to pick a date range, then tap any entry that says you liked or reacted to a reel or video to open it.
On desktop
- Click your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Choose Settings & privacy, then Activity log.
- In the left column, open Your activity across Facebook > Interactions > Likes and reactions.
- Use the date filter at the top to jump to the week you remember, then click the entry to open the reel.
The search phrase "how to see liked reels on Facebook" leads to the same place. There is no separate viewer, and the list mixes reels with posts, comments and photos, so the date filter is your best shortcut.
Why a liked reel might not show up
- You liked it on Instagram. Reels cross-posted from Instagram keep their likes on the platform where you tapped. Check Instagram's Your activity > Likes instead.
- The reel was deleted or made private. The entry disappears or shows as unavailable once the creator removes it or narrows the audience.
- You unliked it. Removing a like or reaction removes the log entry.
- You were on a different profile. If you switch between a personal profile and a Page or second profile, each keeps its own Activity log.
Download a full list of your likes
If you need everything at once, go to Accounts Center > Your information and permissions > Download your information. Choose your Facebook profile, select only the Likes and reactions category, pick HTML for easy reading, and request the file. Meta emails you when it is ready, and the file includes links you can open in a browser.
How do you find saved reels on Facebook?
Saved reels sit in your Saved list: open the Menu (the three lines or your profile picture in the top or bottom bar) and tap Saved. On desktop, click Saved in the left sidebar or open facebook.com/saved. Reels appear alongside saved posts, links and videos, sorted with the newest first.
To save a reel in the first place, tap the three dots on the reel (or the share arrow on some versions) and choose Save or Save reel. You can then tap Add to collection to group reels by topic, which makes the Saved list far easier to search later. Unlike likes, saves are private: the creator sees a count, not your name.
Here is how the three lists compare, since people often look in the wrong one.
| What you want | Where it lives | Visible to others? | Can you clear it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reels you liked or reacted to | Activity log > Interactions > Likes and reactions | Yes, your name shows on the reel | Yes, by unliking each one |
| Reels you saved | Menu > Saved (or facebook.com/saved) | No, only a count | Yes, tap Unsave |
| Reels you watched | Activity log > Videos you've watched | No | Yes, Clear video watch history |
If you save reels you want to study later, collections beat likes. A like is public and buried among hundreds of other interactions, while a named collection stays tidy and private.
How do you see your Facebook reels history and rewatch old reels?
Open Activity log and look for the category Videos you've watched, usually listed under Logged actions and other activity. It shows reels and longer videos you have played, newest first, and tapping one plays it again. This is the closest thing Facebook has to a reels watch history.
A few practical notes when you are trying to watch previously watched reels:
- Short views may not be logged. If you swiped past a reel in a second or two, it may not appear, so add a date filter and scan the day you remember.
- Clearing is one tap. Inside Videos you've watched, tap Clear video watch history to wipe the list. This also feeds fewer signals to recommendations.
- The back gesture works short term. If you just scrolled past a reel, swiping down in the Reels feed often brings it back before the feed refreshes.
- Search by sound or creator. If the log has nothing, search the audio name or the creator's Page and scroll their Reels tab.
If none of these work, ask the friend who shared it to resend it in Messenger. Shared reels stay in the chat thread even when they drop out of your feed.
How do you turn off or get rid of reels on Facebook?
You cannot switch reels off completely, because Facebook has no setting that removes them from the app. You can, however, hide the Video tab, stop autoplay and train the feed to show far fewer reels. Combining the steps below cuts most of them out.
- Hide the Video tab. Go to Menu > Settings & privacy > Settings > Preferences > Tab bar (sometimes called Customize tab bar) and toggle off Video. On some versions you long-press the tab and pick Hide.
- Close the reels row in your feed. Tap the X or three dots on the Reels and short videos section and choose Hide or Show less. This usually snoozes the row for a period rather than forever.
- Mark individual reels. On any reel, tap the three dots and choose Show less or Hide reel. Repeat for a few days and the recommendations shift.
- Turn off autoplay. Under Settings > Preferences > Media, set autoplay to Never autoplay videos so reels do not start on their own.
- Use the Feeds view. Open Menu > Feeds and pick Friends or Favorites for a list built from people and Pages you follow, with far fewer suggested reels.
Clearing your watch history, covered above, also helps, since recommendations lean heavily on what you finished watching. For a fuller explanation of which signals Facebook weighs, see our guide on how the Facebook algorithm works and how to reset it.
