Sometimes you just need to silence someone in your Facebook network. Maybe they play too many games. Maybe they share too many photos of their reptiles in costumes, their dogs in sweaters or their kids going through potty training. Or maybe their always babbling like an idiot. Who knows.
There could be many reasons – each one personal – to hide a friend. You don’t want to unfriend them, you just want to take them out of your newsfeed. Maybe shush them for a bit.
The good news…this is totally possible.
The better news…they won’t even know you did it, so no hard feelings.
Follow these steps and you’ll be able to silence your friends in three easy steps:
1) In your newsfeed, click over to the hover somewhere in the person’s post
2) You should see a HIDE box pop up to the upper right of their post…and click on it.
3) A box then comes up that asks you if you want to HIDE this person or CANCEL…click HIDE
That’s it. You’re done. You have now made Facebook slightly less annoying.
If you ever want to “unhide” them (or if you’ve made a mistake) you can scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and EDIT YOUR OPTIONS. This will open up a box showing you everyone you have hidden.
Oh, and just so you know, you can silence fan pages and quizzes too using the same three steps outlined above.
