Although you can no longer check out which photos or posts your friends have liked on Facebook, you can still see their liked Pages. Pages are Facebook accounts set up for celebrities, locations, services, public figures, bands—basically any Facebook page that isn't a typical person's profile. If your friend hasn't locked down their privacy, you can browse their liked Pages to learn about their interests. This wikiHow article will teach you find out what your friends are interested in on Facebook.
How to See What Someone Liked on Facebook
Go to your friend's Facebook profile and click on the "About Info..." button at the top of the page. Scroll down to the Likes section of their profile and click "See All" (on an iPhone) or the right arrow (on an Android).
Steps
-
Open the Facebook app on your phone or tablet. It's the blue icon with a white "f" inside.
-
Go to your friend's profile. You can find it by tapping the magnifying glass at the top-right corner and typing their name into the search box.Advertisement

Tap See (name's) About Info…. You'll see this near the top of your friend's profile. If you don't see this option, tap the About tab instead.

Scroll down and tap See All or the right-arrow next to "Likes." Depending on the platform you're using, you'll either see See All (iPhone/iPad) or a right-pointing arrow (Android) next to the "Likes" heading. Although you can browse by category, you can select this option to see all of your friend's Likes on one page.
-
Tap the number of Likes to see all Likes at once. This number appears on the Likes page next to "ALL LIKES" in the upper-right. Now you'll see the full list of all movies, TV shows, artists, books, sports teams, restaurants, and other types of Pages your friend has Liked on Facebook.
