Thank you for joining this session on managing your Facebook news feed. We covered how to understand the posts you’re seeing and practical steps to make Facebook a more enjoyable and less overwhelming experience.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Understand Post Sources

Posts can come from friends, groups, pages you follow, sponsored ads, or Facebook’s suggestions. Knowing the source helps you decide how to manage it.

See More of What You Like

Mark close friends and pages as Favorites (Profile > Settings & Privacy > Feed). Interact with posts you enjoy by liking, commenting, or sharing, this tells Facebook to show you more of similar content.

Reduce Posts You Don’t Want

If a post isn’t interesting, click More > Hide Post to train Facebook’s algorithm. Over time, it will learn what you prefer not to see.

Manage Friend Content

If a friend posts too much or content you don’t enjoy, you can Snooze them for 30 days, Unfollow them to stop seeing posts altogether, or Block if you no longer want interaction.

Adjust Ads and Suggestions

Sponsored posts can’t be removed, but you can hide specific ads or types of ads you dislike. This helps reduce clutter and keeps your feed more relevant.
