Ways to like on Instagram
Social networks are created for people to communicate with each other. By posting, the author shares information with the whole world or only with his subscribers: photos, videos, text, emoji - and waits for the reaction of his readers.
The developers of Instagram, understanding the importance of two-way communication, have developed several feedback methods:
- private message;
- reposts;
- comments;
- likes.
In English, the word “like” can be translated in different ways. But mainly it is used in the meanings of “to like”, “to love”, “to desire”. In the Internet space, a like is a positive response from the audience to a publication, expressing approval, agreement, and support.
To like on Instagram, you need to use the corresponding button. It looks like a heart and is often located next to the entry. If you haven't liked a post or message yet, the heart icon is not filled with color. Once you click on it, it turns red.
Red heart, what is your rating?
How to draw a heart from emojis
How to make a heart from emoticons in VK on your phone? To do this, you need to use any text field on the social network. Select the emoji section, which is divided into subcategories, and get creative. You can make a light background of smileys, and on it - a heart of red hearts.
If you want to create a larger-scale drawing, you should use special services. Such resources include the popular vEmoji website. Additional options are available in the “Design” tab:
- Selecting the image size.
- For easy searching, all emoticons are divided into different categories.
- Automatic filling of spaces.
To draw a heart from hearts for publication on VK, fill in the boxes with the desired drawings. You can use the Eraser tool to clean up the cells, and the link gives you a direct link to download the finished drawing.
In addition, the service allows you to edit ready-made images from symbols. Before making a heart from emoticons in VK, go to the “Pictures” tab, then select the “Symbols” section. Here you will find many different hearts. Click on the "Edit" button under the image you like to change it.
You can manually draw a heart from VKontakte symbols using the Unicode format. The table is distributed freely on the Internet. To do this, you need to insert the code with the entire set of characters, including the ampersand, hash and semicolon.
In addition, many users have enough free time to create new drawings from emoticons. There are many resources on the global network where you can copy and paste them anywhere. You can find them on thematic forums, in communities on social networks and other websites. To do this, just write the corresponding request in the Yandex or Google search bar.
Some features
It is possible to react not only to publications in the feed, but also to materials in other sections. Depending on what you want to mark with a “like” sign, the procedure will be different.
Heart in stories
Stories – a block where short-term stories of users you follow are displayed. This can be either a photo or a video sequence with the addition of graphic elements loaded into the application.
You can rate stories by marking them with a smiley face. To do this, you need to tap on the account photo, enclosed in a circle, at the top of the screen. During the display, select the field below to enter a message.
From the 8 quick reactions, mark the emoticon that most matches the mood and emotions evoked from viewing.
After you like a story on Instagram, it will appear in the author’s personal conversation. He can also reply to the reaction and like the message. You will receive a notification about this in the system.

We put the appropriate emoticon in stories.
In the application feed
This is the name of the strip on the main page with the “home” icon. Here is a stream of posts from subscribed users. They are mainly ranked by date and time of issue.
In the left corner under the post window there are three icons. The heart is used for liking. The cloud is for adding a comment. Arrow performs the functions of forwarding and reposting.
It is possible to evaluate a publication in a faster way. You need to double-tap anywhere on a photo or video. A large white heart will appear in the center of the window, a small one will be colored automatically under the bottom border of the frame.
Direct
Drect is otherwise called a “personal message” or “pm”, that is, a personal message. To go to the section, you need to use the button in the form of the Messenger symbol, which is the icon of the Facebook application of the same name.
The icon is in the upper right corner. Then, in a conversation, you select the interlocutor’s thought and double tap on it to mark it as liked.
You can also press and hold an entry to set a different reaction from the full list of emoji.
In comments
To the right of the comment text there is a heart without a background. You need to click on it so that it turns red. This way it is possible to show that the user likes the question or statement.

Using hearts from VK emoticons
Before you copy and paste a heart from VKontakte emoticons, you need to create it or find a ready-made drawing on the Internet. We also described a partially similar process in another article on our website at the following link.

Option 1: Smiley Editor
As said earlier, to copy a heart from an emoji, you first need to create it. This is done manually using any text field on VKontakte or through a special online service, which we will use in the future.
If you decide to create a heart manually, you should use any other characters or special code instead of spaces. Otherwise, the result directly depends on your imagination and requirements for the result.
Go to the vEmoji online service
- Click on the link provided to open the start page of the special service. After that, switch to the “Editor” tab.
- Place your mouse cursor in the “Visual Editor” field and, based on your requirements, create an emoticon from the other emoji presented below.
- You should not use spaces, as after copying and pasting the entire image will be distorted. Instead, use the empty cell emoji from the Symbols section.
- When the drawing is completed, in the previously mentioned text field, click “Copy”, after selecting all the contents.
- Go to the VKontakte website, click on the field where you want to insert the created heart, and press the hotkey Ctrl + V.
Once published, the heart will be displayed without any distortion in any version of the social network used.
With this, we complete this method and move on to a review of options for hearts made from emoji without creating them.
Option 2: Ready-made emoticons
This method is suitable if you do not have the time and desire to create a heart yourself using other emoticons from the basic set of VKontakte. This procedure consists of using existing drawings created by the administration of the online service and other people.
- While on the vEmoji website, switch to the “Pictures” tab and select the “Symbols” section.
- Scroll through the page and find the option that suits you. The simplest heart is located in the first rows and is suitable for most fields in VK.
- Click on the “Copy” button to save the emoticon to the clipboard.
- Having opened any suitable field on VKontakte, press the key combination Ctrl + V.
Upon sending, the heart will be displayed without any errors in full accordance with the example from the first section of the article.
- As an addition, you can resort to changing existing drawings on a special page. To do this, on the vEmoji website, in the block with the selected heart, click “Edit”.
Here you can select any emoticon you like and use it to replace any part of the finished drawing on the right side of the window.
You can make the picture smaller or larger as you wish and instantly change the background.
- After completing the editing process, in the “Copy content and paste into social network chat” field, click the “Copy” button.
- On the social network, press Ctrl + V again to paste and publish the final result.
Regardless of the approach you choose, be sure to follow the tip displayed on every page of the vEmoji site in the upper right corner regarding the maximum length for specific text blocks.
How to rate a post from a computer
Due to the increase in commercial projects, Instagram began to develop a web version. The interface is close to the appearance of a mobile application, so all the hearts are mainly in the same places.
To react to an entry, you need to perform the same actions, replacing the tap with a click with the mouse or on the touchpad. The exception is the direct section. In the web version, the icon has not yet been changed from an arrow to a Messenger cloud.
You can't press and hold on a message from your computer to send a reaction, but it's easy to add an emoji using the smiley sign. The “three dots” symbol allows you to perform additional actions, including adding a “Like” mark. In addition, you can like your interlocutor directly from the chat text field.
Computer assessment.

Actions to remove a like
You can only cancel your likes and only those posts that have a red heart next to them. Reactions to stories or messages with a smiley mark cannot be erased.

If you have reconsidered your attitude towards a publication or accidentally reacted to it, you can return the action in the feed, in the comments, in direct. In cases where the publication is marked with a red heart icon, you must click on it again. Then it will become transparent and the like will be deleted.
How to copy?
You can copy a heart from emoticons to VK with a few mouse clicks.
- If you used special resources, for example, vEmoji, there is a button under the picture to copy the code.
- If you find pictures on forums or in social networking groups, just select them completely, right-click and select copy in the context menu.
Once your heart is on the clipboard, go to VKontakte and paste the symbols into any text field: in messages or on the wall. The image will be displayed correctly and will not be distorted.
To copy a heart from emoticons to VK or other images, you can use keyboard combinations. For example, Ctrl+C – copying characters to the clipboard, Ctrl+v – pasting.
Possible problems
Instagram's rating processes are controlled to protect live audiences from interacting with robots. It is currently impossible to see who liked a post if you are not the author.
The system limits promotion activity in every possible way, introducing limits on the number of comments, likes, and subscriptions per 60 minutes and day. It all depends on the period of account registration.
Newcomers and those who have been using Instagram for 6 months or less receive the most attention. They are not allowed to leave more than 30 likes and comments per hour. Users who registered six months ago or more – over 60.
Therefore, if you cannot add the “Like” mark, there may be several reasons:
- the action was blocked due to exceeding the permissible limit;
- the author closed the page or blocked the subscriber;
- There was a technical failure in the system.
Unlocking requires waiting several hours or days. If the situation does not change, you should contact the Instagram or Facebook support service.
