unliking

Withdrawing digital endorsement

Unliking is the act of removing a like from social media content—reversing a previous click on a post, photo, or comment.

The term emerged with platforms like Facebook and Instagram where likes are the primary unit of approval.

Someone might unlike a post accidentally, or deliberately after rethinking: I went back and unliked all his photos after we broke up.
