As Meta’s developer platform continues to evolve, we're making strategic decisions to focus on tools and features that deliver the most value to developers and businesses. Today, we're announcing that two Facebook Social Plugins - the Facebook Like button and the Facebook Comment button - will be discontinued on February 10, 2026.
This change reflects our commitment to maintaining a modern, efficient platform that serves developers' current needs while enabling us to invest in future innovations. The plugins that will be discontinued reflect an earlier era of web development, and their usage has naturally declined as the digital landscape has evolved.
On February 10, 2026 the plugins will gracefully degrade by rendering as a 0x0 pixel (i.e., an invisible element) rather than causing errors or breaking your website functionality. This change is intended to only remove the plugin content from your site and should not otherwise impact your website's functionality.
For more information, please see the blog and FAQ about this change.
