Your Facebook newsfeed is the area where you get to see all the current updates
from your friends and family all of the news from pages that you follow you see
sponsored ads it's so important and it's good to refresh every so often what
content you see and there's something called the Facebook news feed
preferences where you can do exactly that. Here's how it works
So logged into your profile on the PC simply go here to drop down menu and
then say news feed preferences and you get four simple things to look at so
prioritize who to see first that enables you to see certain people every post
they produce you get it in a premium position on your newsfeed so a little
star next to it . Unfollowing people and groups to hide their posts so you can go
through if you're connected to a few groups certain people you want to stay
friends with but you want to just make sure you don't see everything they're
producing so you just check in from time to time you can do that. Reconnecting
with people you unfollowed the reverse of that so you can go back and choose some
people you maybe haven't seen for a while. And finally manage your snooze
setting so people you can pause for a period of time and then we enable them.
So let's go through them one by one. So prioritize who to see first here you've
got people with the stars are the ones that you prioritize so you can select
any number of other friends as well to make sure you never miss their updates.
When you're ready click done.
You'll see a little tick appears now. So unfollow people and groups to hide their
posts. Sometimes you may have joined a new group that's very active
and you might not want to see everything that's going on so I'll scroll down a
bit further usually it's the top few are okay then the ones you want to keep in
touch with for example I'm not that interested in those updates at the moment
It basically just means you unfollow their updates but
you still can go through to their profile and say hello It's also done when
that's done. And now reconnect with people you unfollowed so again the people you
just look at whether you can reconnect with them here so I'll do that just to
demonstrate all is forgiven for them. And finally manage your snooze
setting so restart stop or add more time to snooze so people that you've snoozes
So the snoozes have obviously gone past the time so there I can click on
those and says you can learn more you get more about this news there's always
help to support. So the default is 30 days of snoozing time. Okay so those are
the four areas there are some more options as well there particularly
around apps that you want to no longer see in the newsfeed and that's
essentially all the things. So the only other things to show you is how it looks
in the new Facebook interface and so we go there and this time from the menu I
need to go to settings and privacy and settings I'm sorry then news feed
preferences directly feed preferences so slightly different routine
But still the same subjects see first I'll click on there and you can see it
pretty much looks the same unfollow reconnect snooze so a bit simplified
with the new version more in keeping with that simplified design so that's it from
those are your news feed preferences very useful to do that from time to
time and make sure you see what you want to
see when you want to see it . Also of course when you're on a mobile phone and
you're scrolling through a lot of different content so again a useful
thing to be able to pick and choose the best content that you really do want to
see. Okay so that's it for me I'm Paul from PR Wilson media your social media
