On Facebook, likes are a way for users to express their approval or appreciation of a post, photo, video, or comment. When someone likes your post, it means they enjoyed it, found it interesting, or agree with what you shared. Likes are represented by a small thumbs-up icon and a count of the number of likes received.
Likes can be an indication of popularity and engagement on the platform and can help boost the visibility of a post or page. However, some people may feel pressure to receive a certain number of likes or use likes as a measure of self-worth, which can have negative effects on mental health.
Facebook has introduced various features to manage the impact of likes on mental health, including the option to hide the number of likes on posts which we will be learning how to go about it, as well as providing resources for managing social media use and promoting positive online interactions.
