How to control what appears on facebook news feed

Controlling what appears on your Facebook news feed can be a bit tricky, but here are some tips to help you customize your experience:

  1. Prioritize posts from friends and family: Go to Settings > News Feed Preferences > Prioritize who to see first. Choose up to 30 friends or pages to see their posts at the top of your feed.
  2. Unfollow or hide posts from specific people: Go to the person's profile, click the three dots next to their name, and select "Unfollow" or "Hide posts from [name]". You can also do this from the news feed by hovering over the post and clicking the "X" icon.
  3. Use the "See First" feature: Go to the person's profile, click the three dots next to their name, and select "See First". This will move their posts to the top of your feed.
  4. Customize your news feed settings: Go to Settings > News Feed Preferences > Edit Settings. Here, you can choose to:
    • See posts from friends and family first
    • See posts from pages you like first
    • See posts from public figures you follow first
    • See posts from friends and family who have been inactive for a while
  5. Use Facebook's "News Feed Preferences" tool: Go to Settings > News Feed Preferences. Here, you can:
    • See a list of all the posts you've hidden or unfollowed
    • Unhide or unfollow posts
    • See a list of all the pages you've liked
    • Unlike pages
  6. Use Facebook's "See More" feature: Go to the top of your news feed and click the "See More" button. This will show you more posts from friends and family, as well as pages you like.
  7. Use Facebook's "Most Recent" feature: Go to the top of your news feed and click the "Most Recent" button. This will show you the most recent posts from all your friends and pages you like, in chronological order.
  8. Use third-party apps to customize your news feed: There are several third-party apps available that can help you customize your Facebook news feed, such as News Feed Filter Bubble or Facebook News Feed Tweaker.
  9. Report posts that are irrelevant or spammy: If you see a post that's irrelevant or spammy, click the three dots next to the post and select "Report Post". This will help Facebook's algorithm learn what types of posts you don't want to see.
  10. Take breaks from Facebook: If you find that your news feed is becoming overwhelming or stressful, consider taking a break from Facebook or limiting your use to specific times of the day.

By following these tips, you can customize your Facebook news feed to show you the content that's most relevant and interesting to you.
