Key takeaways
- LinkedIn lists the posts you liked under Me, View profile, Activity, Show all activity, Reactions.
- The same path works in the LinkedIn app for iPhone and Android, with Reactions in the filter row at the top.
- LinkedIn Help says your complete history of liked and unliked content may not be accessible, so older likes may only appear in a data download.
- Reactions are shared with your network, and other members can open the Reactions filter on your profile.
- Saving a post keeps it in a private list under Saved items, which makes a better bookmark than a like.
To see liked posts on LinkedIn, open your profile, scroll to the Activity section, click Show all activity and choose the Reactions filter. LinkedIn lists every post and comment you reacted to there, newest first, whether you pressed Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful or Funny.
There is no tab called "Liked posts" because LinkedIn files likes under reactions, the set of buttons that appears when you hover over or hold the Like icon. Once you know that, finding a post you liked takes about 20 seconds on any device.
How do I see my liked posts on LinkedIn on desktop?
These steps follow LinkedIn's own help page on viewing your activity or a member's activity:
- Click Me in the top bar and choose View profile.
- Scroll down to the Activity section of your profile.
- Click Show all activity at the bottom of that section.
- In the filter row at the top of the page, select Reactions.
- Scroll the list and click any item to open the full post with its comments.
Each item carries a line with your name and the reaction you used, such as "likes this" or "celebrates this", above the original post. That makes it easy to tell a plain like from an Insightful or a Support.
There is also a direct address. Type linkedin.com/in/your-profile-name/recent-activity/reactions/ into the browser bar, replacing the middle part with the name from your own profile URL, and the Reactions list opens without the clicks above.
LinkedIn moves menu items around from time to time. In October 2026 a member documented that the old Posts & Activity shortcut had left the Me menu, and that Reactions now sits next to Posts, Comments, Videos and Images on the profile Activity page. The profile route above is the one that keeps working.
How to see liked posts on the LinkedIn app (iPhone and Android)
The app uses the same Activity page with a slightly different layout:
- Open the LinkedIn app and press your profile photo in the top-left corner.
- Choose View profile.
- Scroll down to Activity and press Show all activity.
- Swipe the row of filters at the top sideways until you reach Reactions, then press it.
- Press any item to open the post, read the thread or react again.
The iOS and Android versions are close but not identical, and LinkedIn renames buttons now and then. If a label looks different, look for the full activity view and skip the short preview on your profile, which only shows a few recent items.
What counts as a liked post on LinkedIn?
Anything you reacted to with any of the six reactions lands in the same list. LinkedIn's reactions help page describes what each one is for:
| Reaction | What LinkedIn says it signals |
|---|---|
| Like | General approval of the post |
| Celebrate | Praise for an announcement, a new job or a finished project |
| Support | Empathy with someone going through a hard time |
| Love | A post that warmed you or made you happy |
| Insightful | A post that made a good argument or shared a new idea |
| Funny | A post that made you laugh |
Reactions to comments appear in the list too, so an item can open on a comment thread under someone else's post. That is often the reason a "liked post" looks unfamiliar at first.
Why can't I find a post I liked on LinkedIn?
If the post you remember is missing from Reactions, one of these is usually behind it:
- The history is not complete. LinkedIn's page on liking and reacting to posts says the time activities stay in your Activity feed may change, and that your complete history of liked and unliked content may not be accessible to you.
- The post was deleted or hidden. If the author removed the post or limited who can see it, it drops out of your list.
- You removed the reaction. Unliking a post also removes it from Reactions.
- You have no recent reactions. LinkedIn hides an activity type that has nothing in it, and hides the whole Activity section from your profile if you have had no activity for 360 days.
- You reacted to a comment. The item then opens on a comment thread, which is easy to scroll past when you are looking for a full post.
If none of these fit, search for the author by name, open their profile and go through their posts. It is slower, and it works for posts you liked months ago.
How do I find older liked posts on LinkedIn?
For likes that no longer show on the site, request a copy of your account data. LinkedIn's Download your data page lists these steps:
- Click Me, then Settings & Privacy.
- Open Data privacy in the left menu.
- Under How LinkedIn uses your data, click Download your data.
- Choose the larger archive and click Request archive.
LinkedIn emails a download link within 24 hours, the link works for 72 hours, and the request can only be made from a computer. Inside the ZIP there is a reactions file listing the posts and comments you reacted to, as this walkthrough of the export files shows. Open it in a spreadsheet and search for a word from the post or the author's name.
Liked posts vs saved posts: which should you use to find a post again?
A like is public and tells the author you appreciated the post. A save is private and exists so you can find the post later. LinkedIn explains saving on its Save content in your feed page: open the More menu (three dots) on a post and choose Save.
| Like or other reaction | Save | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can see it | Your network, plus anyone who opens your activity | Only you |
| Where to find it | Profile, Activity, Show all activity, Reactions | Saved items on the left of your home feed, then Saved posts and articles |
| What the author sees | Your name in the list of reactions | A count of saves in their post analytics |
| How long it stays | LinkedIn says the history may not be complete | Until you unsave it |
If you like a post because you want to come back to it, save it as well. The author still learns the post was useful, because LinkedIn now shows saves in post analytics, and saves are one of the actions members give each other on our LinkedIn saves page.
Can people see what posts you like on LinkedIn?
Yes. LinkedIn's help center says posts and comments you like or react to are shared with your network, and that people are told which reaction you chose. Your reactions can appear in your connections' feeds with your name on top, and anyone who opens Show all activity on your profile can pick the Reactions filter.
The help center does not describe a setting that hides single reactions. If a like should not be public, remove it. If you only wanted a bookmark, save the post instead. For other privacy controls, such as viewing profiles without showing your name, read our guide to LinkedIn private mode.
How do I see someone else's liked posts on LinkedIn?
Use the same filter on their profile: open it, scroll to Activity, click Show all activity and select Reactions. LinkedIn notes that an empty Activity section can mean the member has changed their settings or simply has no recent activity.
One fair use: before you comment on someone's post or send a connection request, their recent reactions show which topics they care about this month. Keep it to reading. Reacting to a string of someone's old posts in one sitting looks strange from the other side.
How do I remove a like from a LinkedIn post?
Open the post, hover over the reaction you gave on desktop or press and hold it in the app, and click it again. LinkedIn's profile activity page describes the same thing from your Reactions list: find the item and click the highlighted Like. The post then leaves your Reactions filter.
How to see who liked your own LinkedIn post
Some searches for "how to see LinkedIn likes" mean the other direction. To see who reacted to your post, click the reaction count under it; a list of people opens, with a tab for each reaction type. For totals, open the post's analytics: LinkedIn's post analytics page counts reactions, comments, reposts, saves and sends.
If you run a company Page, the view is different. In the Page admin view, click Activity in the left menu and choose the Reactions filter. LinkedIn's Page activity help page says this tab shows reactions to the Page's posts in aggregate, and a Post highlights module on the right lists the posts with the most comments, shares and reactions.
Our guide on what impressions mean on LinkedIn explains how views and reactions relate. If a post you care about needs more people to see it, LinkedInLikes members can react to it by hand from their own LinkedIn accounts after you share its link on the LinkedIn likes page. We never ask for your LinkedIn password.
Next step: open your Reactions list now and save the two or three posts you want to keep. They will still be in Saved items after the activity history moves on.
