Facebook is currently the world’s largest social network and you might have friends of friends who you don’t even know. Maybe they post photos or other content you don’t want to see. Maybe you don’t like their posts because you don’t agree with that person’s stance on things.
Whatever the case, here’s a look at some options you have to avoid seeing their annoying posts in your newsfeed.
Hide Post or Unfollow Facebook Friends
- Before you decide to go as far as unfriending someone, you might want to take more of a passive action and hide posts you don’t agree with. Keep in mind that if you do this, the Facebook algorithm will try to hide similar posts in the future. If that is ok with you, just click the options button (…) and select Hide post from the menu that pops up.
- After you select the option to hide the post, Facebook gives you a few other options. You can click the link to see less from that person. Or, if you determine the post is offensive or spam, you can report it to the company. Also, if you change your mind, you can click to undo the action and the post will show up again in your timeline.
- If you no longer want to see any posts from a ‘Friend’ then you can unfollow them. Just select the Unfollow option from the same menu. You will still remain friends with that person, however, you won’t see any more of their posts. Like with hiding posts, you can also undo this option later if you change your mind.
- If you have multiple people you want to unfollow you can do that in one fell swoop. Head to News Feed > Edit Preferences at the top-left of the page.
- When the Preferences menu pops up, select “Unfollow people to hide their posts.”
- Now you can go through and select people, pages, or groups that you don’t want to follow and then click the Done button at the bottom.
