How to Hide or Unhide Reaction Counts on Your Facebook Posts

https://web.facebook.com/help/1223975091401139?_rdc=1&_rdr

Want to make your Facebook experience more peaceful? Some users prefer not to show how many reactions their posts get — and Facebook gives you the option to hide or unhide the like/react counts on your posts.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to control that setting:

---

🔒 How to Hide Reaction Counts on Your Posts:

1. Open your Facebook app (or go to facebook.com).

2. Tap the Menu (three horizontal lines) on the bottom right (iOS) or top right (Android).

3. Scroll down and tap Settings & Privacy, then choose Settings.

4. Scroll to the “Reaction Preferences” or search for it using the search bar.

5. You’ll see two options:

   • On posts from others (Hide reaction counts on other people’s posts)

   • On your posts (Hide counts on your own posts)

6. Toggle “On your posts” to ON if you want to hide reaction counts.

7. Done! Now, people will still be able to react, but they won't see the total count.

👁️ How to Unhide Reaction Counts:

If you change your mind, you can follow the same steps and turn the toggle OFF under “On your posts”. The reaction numbers will be visible again to everyone.

🙋 Why Hide Reaction Counts?

• To reduce pressure or anxiety around post performance.

• To focus more on content than numbers.

• To create a healthier social media environment.

📌 Final Tip: This setting only affects how others see your posts — you’ll still be able to view the reaction counts privately.
