Did you know that there is a limit to how many friends you can have and how many pages you can like on Facebook? It’s true, and the total is combined. You may have a total of 5,000 friends and liked pages, not 5,000 of each! It sounds like a lot but when you like pages just for giggles or enter a lot of giveaways that number can add up quickly.
I had a lot of pages that I liked that were no longer applicable to my interests or I liked a page just for a giveaway entry when I really didn’t have any interest in it to begin with. I began the painstaking task of unliking pages individually and quickly realized that it would take forever that way. I knew (hoped!) that there was an easier way.
I found plenty of tutorials on how to do it with an older version of Facebook and it gave me enough of an idea of how to do it with the (now) current version. This tutorial may change with the next Facebook update, but for now, here is how you can easily unlike multiple pages on Facebook.
Thank you for this information. I’ve been “de-sludging” the house, I might as well tidy up my facebook while I’m at it!
Haha. It’s as good a time as any! It gets to be so much after a while. I had so many goofy pages that I liked just to be funny when it used to tell everyone in the newsfeed about it. They were still there but not anymore!
I need to do this. I am trying to clean up all aspects of my life and get rid of clutter, including virtual clutter!
