Today’s Quick Tip….
How to unfollow a ‘problem’ friend on Facebook
There are many reasons why you might not want a particular friend’s posts showing up 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?
Well, there is, and it’s very easy to do. Just follow the steps below for the device you’re using with Facebook…
If you’re using Facebook in a web browser on a laptop or desktop computer:
1 – Go to your annoying friend’s Timeline page.
2 – Click the Friends button and select Unfollow from the drop-down menu.
If you’re using the Facebook app on a mobile device:
1 – Go to your annoying friend’s Timeline page.
2 – Tap the three dots at the right side of the Menu bar.
3 – Tap Friends.
4 – Tap Unfollow.
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.
