Facebook’s Like button is recognized on social media because it has left a deep impression on the hearts of people. But you may be a little surprised to know that the company has decided to discontinue the like button very soon. The Like button will soon disappear from Facebook forever. According to media reports, Meta has announced that Facebook like and comment buttons will be removed from external websites.
When will Facebook comment and like buttons disappear?
Meta has announced that starting February 10, 2026, Facebook like and comment buttons will stop appearing on external websites. This means comment and like buttons will disappear from blogs, shopping portals and webpages that have Facebook posts embedded in them.
This decision has been taken to make developer tools better and simpler. These plugins were introduced about a decade ago, but times have changed and their use has diminished, so the company now wants to focus on new ideas. One thing we want to clarify here is that you will continue to see like and comment buttons on the Facebook app and the official Facebook site as before.
Example: Suppose you are reading a blog or news, you will see a small Facebook Like button with a blue thumbs up sign at the bottom. You can like that blog or news without opening Facebook, just by pressing the button. After February 10th, like and comment buttons will be removed from any such external sites. Removing the button will not crash the site; These buttons will simply disappear, so no errors will appear on any posts.
