One of the most classic Facebook features is the like button. The Like feature lets users show their appreciation or interest and let others know they enjoy it.
The like button initially allowed you to like other people’s posts and photos. However, Facebook now lets you like comments, among many other reactions. But how do you like a comment on Facebook?
To like a comment on Facebook, you need to navigate to the comment you want to like and tap the like button under the comment. You will get multiple reactions if you tap and hold the like option. Select your reaction, and it will automatically register your like or reaction to the comment.
Whenever you like a comment, the person who posted the comment will be notified that you liked the comment. If you’ve liked a comment by mistake, tap on the like option again to unlike the comment.
This article discusses everything you need to know about liking, unliking, and reacting to comments on Facebook.

How To Dislike a Comment on Facebook?
Facebook does not have an option to dislike a comment. However, you can show your dislike through the angry emoji reaction, or you can simply ignore it.
You can also report the comment to Facebook if it is inappropriate. Other options to dislike include unfollowing the post, hiding or snoozing the post, or comments.
To show an angry reaction to the post, follow the steps below:
- Open Facebook and log in to your account.
- Go to the comment you want to react to angrily.
- Tap and hold the like option under comment. This will display multiple emoji reactions, like love, anger, sadness, haha, and wow.
- Select the red emoji face to give the angry reaction to the post.
Once you’re done, the “Like” button will turn to “Angry,” and the angry emoji will appear on the right side of the comment. You can also change your reaction to the comment by following the same steps.
