How to block a ‘problem’ friend’s posts from your Facebook Newsfeed
There are many reasons why you might want to remain friends with someone on Facebook but not receive their posts in your news feed.
Luckily, there’s an easy way to block a ‘problem’ friend’s posts without having to actually unfriend them, possibly saving your sanity (and your offline friendship) in the process. Just follow the steps below…
1 – Go to your annoying friend’s Timeline page.
2 – Click (or tap) the Friends button and select Unfollow from the menu.
That’s all there is to it. You have now stopped following your friend, which means his/her posts will no longer show up in your news feed.
