5 Steps to Instantly Improve Your Facebook Experience

Adjust these settings to see more of what you like and less of what you don’t like on Facebook.

If you don’t manage your Facebook feed, it can quickly become annoying. This annoyance is inevitable since you can’t control the things posted by your Friends, or the pages for businesses and organizations that interest you.

But there is something you can do about it! Facebook has recently updated their Settings to make it easer to manage what you see on your News Feed. By following these steps, you can transform your Facebook News Feed into something much more useful.

1 - Access your News Feed Preferences

• Start by going to the Facebook App on your smartphone, or go to Facebook.com on any computer.
• If using the Facebook App, go to your profile by selecting the three lines on the bottom right.
• Find the Settings option, then select ‘News Feed Preferences’.

2 - Prioritize who to see first

• Decide which posts you want to see at the top of your news feed.
• You can set this to any friend, page, or person you follow.
• You can select up to 30 people or pages to see first, however your selections aren’t ranked.

3 - Unfollow people to hide their posts

• You follow people and pages when you ‘Like’ them, but you can Unfollow them at any time.
• If you Unfollow, they’ll still be in your Friends list and you can always go to their page to see their posts.
• The person or page will not know that you have Unfollowed them.

4 - Reconnect with people you unfollow

• If you Unfollowed a person or page, they will appear on this list.
• Select the person or page to begin following again.
• Their posts will begin appearing in your News Feed.

5 - Discover pages that match your interests

• Facebook makes it easy to discover pages by suggesting pages you may find interesting.
• As you Like more pages, you’ll see more suggestions that match your interests.
• It’s any easy way to discover new pages you didn’t know existed.
