For easier and faster learning sake, I have divided these icons into two; the common icons and the ambiguous icons. So let’s start with the common ones below;
The most common icon used by Facebook users is the “Like” icon. It is a hand symbol doing a thumb up. With this icon you can like any post on Facebook, you can also like comments, pages etc.

Just at the topmost part of your Facebook page, you will discover four icons;
The first represent your Facebook timeline or news feed, where you get all your recent posts as well as your friend’s recent post.

The second icon looks like two people standing side by side, this is the friend’s icon, with this icon you can check up those that sent you a friend request and accept or reject them, you can also check your friend list as well as suggested friends list.

Then just to the right, the Feeling/Activity iconwhich allows you to share your present feelings or action with your friends or other Facebook users. Lastly, the Tag friends icon this will allow you add some of your friends name into the post. 

When typing whatever is on your mind into the edit field, you will discover a smiley icon just at the extreme right of the field, there you can select any emoji of your choice to add into the post. 

Ambiguous Facebook Symbols

These set of symbols are well recognized by usual Facebook users but for newbies on facebook, it may be a bit hard to know what exactly they are used for.
So let’s start with the icon found in your profile, just at your main profile page to the left-hand side, you’ll notice the “Explore” section which contains lots of icons listed.

Facebook Symbols: A Guide To Facebook Symbols and What they all mean
Have you ever noticed how many little Facebook symbols are scattered throughout the Facebook landscape? There has to be a Facebook team in some back cubicle at headquarters just thinking up what little image Facebook could offer next.

Whatever the reason for so many little images, the one thing it can do is cause a bit of confusion for newcomers. While many of the tiny icons are self-explanatory, for many people who are not only new to Facebook but also new to computers, some of these images can be a real mystery.

In the past, here at MUO, we’ve helped new users navigate through Facebook. Rob showed you the most recent Facebook Messenger features. And Dan showed you the ins and outs of following and followers on Facebook. Today, I’m going to put together a quick reference guide that you can use when one of those little Facebook symbols really has you stumped.10 Facebook Messenger Features You Must Try 10 Facebook Messenger Features You Must Try

We've done some digging and found even more features that could make Messenger more useful for you.

Simple Facebook Symbols

I’ve separated all of these Facebook Symbols into two groups – the common icons most people recognize, and then the obscure ones a lot of people don’t know about.
One of the most recognizable images both inside and outside of Facebook – this is the famous “Like” icon. You can Like a status update, quote, link, image or anything else? Click this image and let everyone know.
At the top of your Facebook home page, you’ll notice three dark icons. The image of earth represents your notification list of all of the latest updates from your friends, as well as your favorite pages and groups.
Click on this little conversation bubble icon, and you’ll see a dropdown box displaying the latest Facebook messages you’ve received.
Finally, the last image at the top of the home page is the “Friend Request” icon. Click on this, and if you have any new friend requests, they’ll show up in a drop-down box.

The following icons are well known by most Facebook users, so I won’t waste much time on them.

Above your edit field, you’ll see three symbols; a pen (to edit the post), a computer (to add a photo or video to your post) or a video camera (to capture live video for your post).How to Watch Facebook Videos on Your TV How to Watch Facebook Videos on Your TVIf you want to share a Facebook video with your entire living room, then the best thing to do is cast the video right onto your TV.





Starting from the upper-left under the edit field, you’ll see the icon for sharing photos or videos (either captured live or from files saved on your computer or mobile device). To the right of that you’ve got the “Feeling/Activity” icon where you can share with everyone how you’re feeling right now.









Next row on the left is the “Check in” icon which lets you use your GPS (or selected) location to share where you’re located with your Facebook friends. To the right of that is the “Tag Friends” icon where you can tag any of your friends you’ve mentioned in your post or your shared photo.Facebook Adds Live Location Tracking to Messenger Facebook Adds Live Location Tracking to Messenger  You have been able to share your location on a one-off basis for some time, but Facebook has now added real-time location sharing to the mix. What could possibly go wrong?!

Finally, there’s the “Sticker” icon, which is a lot like the “Feelings” icon, except that when you click on it, you can apply a big (some would say gaudy) sticker/picture from a pre-made list of “stickers” you can choose from.


Click on any one of these icons to add that type of content to your wall.

By the way — if you want to see the largest collection of Facebook symbols anywhere, while you’re editing or creating a post, just click on the “emoji” face to the lower left of the edit field.



Yes, this is where you find smiley faces everyone uses. But as you can see from the row of other icons, you can find pages and pages of emoji. You’ll find everything from animals and electronics to sports and flags. Have fun!

Dealing With Facebook Posts

The last few most common icons are the ones that show up in the box below, when you click the down arrow to the upper right of a post.



This window appears with different options depending on where the post is and who posted it. In the example above, the post was published by someone else and shows up on my timeline. The top icon “Hide post” lets you let Facebook now you don’t like the post and want to see fewer posts from that person. Or if you don’t want to see anything at all from that person, you can click the next icon down to “Unfollow” the person.

The third icon down is the comment bubble with an exclamation. This is to report the post to Facebook as troublesome. The next icon is to save the post to your Facebook bookmarks. The globe icon is to enable notifications so if anyone posts a comment, you’ll get a notification for it. And finally, the last icon is to get code that will let you embed the post anywhere else outside of Facebook.

If you click the down arrow at the upper right of one of your own posts, you’ll have many more options — but none of them include any special Facebook symbols.



These are just options to change the post in some way, or even delete it entirely.

Just above the post, next to your name, you’ll see an icon of two people with a small arrow to the right. Click on the arrow and you’ll see another window like the one below.



This is an important dropdown, because it allows you to set the privacy level of your posts. This is something too few people pay attention to — but it can mean the difference between things being seen only by family and friends, or by the entire internet.

If you click the top globe icon, your post will be visible to the whole web. If you click any of the icons below it, you can set it to only show up for your immediate friends, friends of friends, or you can actually block the post from specific friends if you want to.4 Vital Facebook Privacy Settings You Should Check Right Now 4 Vital Facebook Privacy Settings You Should Check Right Now Facebook's been changing privacy options again. As usual, the default option is for you to be oversharing your details, so here's what you need to know to set things right.
Obscure Facebook Symbols

The next batch of Facebook symbols are well known to regular Facebook users, but may not be quite as recognizable to brand new users. How many of these do you recognize?

If you scroll down on your main profile page and look to the left, you’ll see an “Explore” area in the left navigation bar. There are many unusual icons here.



The blue circle with images of people represents “Groups” on Facebook that you can join. The Calendar page is to find events in your area (or online events) posted on Facebook. The flag icon is where you’ll find Facebook Pages that might interest you. The white square with blue people images is where you can go to set up or edit your Friend Lists. The red ribbon is where you’ll find all the posts and pages you’ve saved.How to "Friend" Someone on Facebook & Hide It From Your Status Updates How to "Friend" Someone on Facebook & Hide It From Your Status UpdatesDon't want everyone to know you've got a new Facebook friend? Here's how to hide your new connections from your wall, status updates, and News Feed.

The wrench is to add or remove apps from your Facebook account. The small game screen is fairly obvious — it’s where you’ll find Facebook Games to play. The blue chart is the Ads Manager dashboard, which is a special Facebook area for online publishers and other Facebook advertisers. And the clock with an arrow around it is “On This Day“, where you’ll find posts you made many years ago, on today’s date.



If you click on See More, you’ll see the icons above, in the following order:
Fundraisers – where you can donate money to worthy causes (or start your own).
Live Video – Where you can find all sorts of random live video published on Facebook (or stream your own)
Pokes – Where you can see who poked you or poke someone (I really wish Facebook would get rid of this feature…).
Pages Feed – A feed of all activity from your Liked pages.
