If You Accidentally Liked a Photo on Instagram And Then Unlike It, Will They Know?

Accidentally liked a photo on Instagram and then unliked it?

Accidentally liking on Instagram is very common for Instagram users as it is easy to make that mistake.

It can happen if you double-tap the photo or tap the heart icon while scrolling down the feed.

This mistake can be quite serious, especially if you’re viewing someone else’s feed that you don’t follow.

This article answers whether a person will get a notification if you accidentally liked their photo and disliked it on Instagram etc.

If you accidentally liked a photo on Instagram and then disliked it, would they know?

So the question is whether a person will know or will be notified if you accidentally like and then unlike their photo.

If you accidentally like and then unlike a photo, that person will receive a notification in an instant, then it will be deleted as soon as you unlike.

To demonstrate this, I tested it with an alternate account.

First, I used my alternate account to like the main account’s photo.

Then I went back to my main account and it got a notification that the post was liked.

Then I unliked the photo with my alternate account and when I went back to my main account the notification was removed.

If you accidentally like someone else’s Instagram photo and then unlike it, the notification will be deleted.

However, if they’re in the app while you like their photo, they’ll get a notification in a snap.

This means that the person will only be able to know that you’ve accidentally liked their photo if they’re using the app while you’re doing it.

In other words, you will need to depend on your luck.

If the person using an app you accidentally liked doesn’t like their photo, they’ll be notified in a moment.

On the other hand, if the person isn’t on the app while you accidentally like or dislike their photo, they won’t be notified unless they’ve turned on notifications on Instagram.

This mistake can sometimes embarrass you because the person may think you are spying on them.

Despite that, it’s not really a big deal since most of the time, the person might have missed the notification altogether.

What if you accidentally liked a photo on Instagram and then unliked and blocked them?

What if you block the person right after you like their photo?

If you accidentally like someone else’s photo and then block them, your like will be deleted.

If you block someone on Instagram, all your likes and comments will be deleted. So if you accidentally like someone else’s photo, that like will also be deleted.

Blocking someone will remove all of your previous likes and comments on their posts.

So, if you want a quick way to remove all your likes and comments on other people’s posts, then blocking them is the solution.

But what happens if you unblock them? Do your likes and comments reappear on their posts?

Yes, if you unblock someone, your likes and comments will reappear on their posts.

To demonstrate this, I tested it with an alternate account.

First, I used my alternate account to like some posts from my main account.

Then I blocked the main account.

Finally, I unblocked the main account and checked if the likes reappeared and they reappeared.

Therefore, if you accidentally like someone else’s photo on Instagram and then block them, your likes and notifications will be removed.

However, if you unblock that person, your likes will reappear on their posts.

What if you accidentally liked a photo on Instagram and then unliked it and deactivated your account?

What if you accidentally liked someone else’s photo on Instagram and then deactivated your account? Will the notice be deleted?

If you accidentally like a photo on Instagram then deactivate your account, all your likes and comments as well as notifications will be deleted.

All your likes and comments will be deleted if you deactivate your Instagram account.

Deactivating your Instagram account will temporarily delete your profile, photos, likes, and comments.

However, disabling your Instagram account is a hassle as you cannot disable it from the Instagram app.

Instead, you must log in to your Instagram account using a desktop or mobile browser.

So I don’t recommend disabling your account.

This is because as mentioned in the previous sections, unliking a photo on Instagram will remove the notification.

Therefore, you do not need to disable your Instagram account to remove notifications.

You can simply dislike a photo and it will do the trick.

How to stop random likes on Instagram?

Accidentally liking someone’s photo on Instagram can be embarrassing.

It happens to even the best of us.

To stop random likes on Instagram, you can turn on airplane mode on your device.

If you’re using an iPhone, swipe up and tap the ‘plane’ icon.

If you’re on Android, navigate to settings, tap ‘more’ under Wireless & Networks, and turn on airplane mode.

Turning on airplane mode will prevent your likes from going through.

So you don’t have to worry about random likes.

What if you don’t like and then like a photo on Instagram?

What about the opposite — dislike and like other people’s photos?

If you don’t like and then like someone else’s photo, they’ll get another notification.

This means that if you unlike someone else’s photo and like it again after a while, they’ll get another notification that you’ve liked their post.

People usually won’t notice this.

So if you accidentally un-liked someone’s post and liked it back, they might not notice that you liked their post before.

What if you like a photo on Instagram twice?

What if you like a photo on Instagram twice?

If you double-tap to like a photo on Instagram, nothing interesting will happen.

If you double-tap someone else’s photo twice or more than twice, they won’t get as many notifications.

They will only receive a single notification and the rest of your likes will be ignored by Instagram.

By double-tapping the Instagram photo repeatedly, the same animation will be played back.

A common misconception is that if you double-tap a photo on Instagram, it won’t look the same. This is not the truth.

You can only unlike a photo on Instagram if you tap the ‘heart’ icon under someone’s post.

You can’t unlike a photo by double-tapping it twice.

Conclusion

Accidentally liking a photo on Instagram can be quite awkward.

This is because the person may think you are following them.

But don’t worry, if you immediately unlike a photo after liking it, the notification will be removed.

Unless the person is using the app while you’re doing this, they won’t know.
