This article explains how to hide likes from specific categories of pages on Facebook, such as restaurants, sports teams, and TV shows. These instructions apply to the desktop version of Facebook only.

There are different types of likes on Facebook. There is the familiar "liking" of a post, where you respond to what someone posts. There are also Facebook page likes that apply to different categories, such as movies, television, music, books, sports teams, athletes, inspiring people, restaurants, games, activities, interests, sports, food, clothing, websites and others.

By default, these categories are set to Public, so if you like a Facebook Page, like a restaurant, anyone can see it. But if you prefer, you can change these settings to limit the audience that sees the Page categories you like.

Here's how to get a little more privacy when liking categories of pages on Facebook. These settings are only available on Facebook's desktop site, not the mobile app.
