How to See Posts You've Liked on LinkedIn (Yours and Others')
How to see posts you've liked on LinkedIn: the exact path through your Activity, how to view someone else's reactions, and why your likes are public.
By Animesh Kudake, Co-founder, Apna Project
The short version
- To see posts you've liked on LinkedIn, open your profile, go to your Activity section, and switch to the Reactions tab.
- The same path works for anyone: open their profile, click into Activity, and choose Reactions to see what they have publicly liked.
- Your reactions are public by default. Anyone who visits your profile can browse what you have liked, so treat every like as a small public signal.
- On mobile, tap your photo, view your profile, scroll to Activity, tap it, then filter by Reactions.
- Likes are searchable history, not a private bookmark. If you want to save a post for yourself, use the Save feature instead.
Your likes are public, so treat them that way
Here is the part people forget. Your reactions are not a private bookmark drawer. They appear in your Activity for any profile visitor to browse, and a like can also surface in your connections' feeds as a "reacted to this" notice. Every like is a small public statement.
That is not a warning to like less. It is a nudge to like on purpose. Because reactions are public, they are also a soft form of engagement: supporting the right posts puts your name, lightly, in front of that author and their audience. If you want that signal to carry weight, can you react to comments on LinkedIn covers how reactions work across posts and comment threads.
When you want a private save instead
If your goal is to keep a post for later without telling anyone, do not use a like. Use Save. Open the post's More menu, choose Save, and it lands in your private Saved items, visible only to you, with no notification to the author and no entry in your public Activity.
This is the clean split worth remembering: like to engage in public, save to keep in private. Mixing them up is how people end up with a public trail of reactions they meant as personal bookmarks.
Why old likes get harder to find
One limitation worth setting expectations on: the Reactions tab is reliable for recent activity, but it is not a bottomless archive with a search box. As you rack up more reactions, scrolling back to something you liked months ago gets tedious, and there is no keyword search inside the tab to jump straight to it. LinkedIn also hides the Activity section entirely on a profile that has had no activity for a long stretch, so a dormant account may show nothing at all.
The practical takeaway is not to rely on likes as a filing system. If a post is something you will genuinely want to find again, a reference, a resource, a template, save it in the moment rather than trusting that you can scroll back to the like later. Reactions are a public signal and a rough history, not a searchable library. Treat the Reactions tab as a way to review what you have been engaging with lately, not as long-term storage.
The one habit we would build
Because we spend our days on the engagement side of LinkedIn, here is the move most people miss. Your Reactions tab is not just a lookup tool, it is a to-do list. Every post you liked but never commented on is a conversation you left on the table. A like is the lowest-effort signal there is, and it mostly gets forgotten. A comment on that same post is what actually gets you noticed.
So once a week, open your own Reactions tab and scan the last few days. Find two or three posts you genuinely liked, and go back and leave a real comment on them. You already found the content worth engaging with, you just stopped one step short. Turning silent likes into thoughtful comments is one of the simplest ways to build presence, and your Activity history hands you the shortlist for free.
Frequently asked questions
How do I see posts I have liked on LinkedIn?
Go to your profile and find the Activity section, then click to show all activity and select the Reactions tab. That view lists the posts you have reacted to, newest first. On the mobile app, tap your profile photo, open View Profile, scroll to Activity, and filter by Reactions to get the same list.
Can I see what someone else has liked on LinkedIn?
Yes, if their activity is public. Visit their profile, open the Activity section, and choose the Reactions filter. You will see the posts they have reacted to. LinkedIn shows this by design, because reactions are a public signal, not a private action, so people can see what others in their network engage with.
Are my LinkedIn likes private?
No. Reactions are public by default and appear both in your Activity section and, often, in your connections' feeds as a "liked this" notice. If you would rather keep a post for yourself without broadcasting it, use Save instead of a reaction. Saving is private and does not notify or display anything to anyone.
What is the difference between liking and saving a post?
A like is a public reaction that notifies the author, may surface in feeds, and shows in your Activity. Saving is a private bookmark that no one else sees and that does not notify the author. Use likes to engage and support, and use Save to keep something you want to read or reference later.

You reacted to a great post last week and now you want to find it again. Or you are curious what a prospect has been liking lately, because their reactions say a lot about what is on their mind. Either way, LinkedIn keeps this history, it is just tucked into a corner most people never open.
Here is how to see posts you've liked on LinkedIn, how to check what someone else has liked, and one thing worth knowing before you treat likes as private.
Find your own liked posts
Your reactions live in your Activity section, and the path is short.
That view lists every post you have reacted to, newest first, so the like you are hunting for is usually near the top. The tabs next to Reactions (Posts, Comments) work the same way if you are trying to find something you wrote or commented on rather than liked. For comments specifically, how to find your comments on LinkedIn walks the same route.
On the mobile app the steps mirror the desktop ones: tap your profile photo, open your profile, scroll to Activity, tap in, and filter by Reactions. The layout looks slightly different on a small screen, but the Reactions filter is in the same place, and the list is the same one you see on desktop. If you do not see an Activity section at all, it usually means you have not reacted to or posted anything recently enough for LinkedIn to show it.
See what someone else has liked
The reason this feature exists is that reactions are public, and that cuts both ways. To see what another member has been liking, open their profile, find the same Activity section, click into it, and choose the Reactions filter. Anything they reacted to that is public shows up there.
This is genuinely useful. What a person likes is a quiet map of what they care about right now, which posts they found worth endorsing, whose content they follow. If you are trying to start a real conversation with someone, their reactions are better research than their headline. It pairs well with checking how to see followers on the LinkedIn app when you are sizing up an account.
