What's up, everyone.
I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'll show you how to customize your Facebook news feed.
One of the biggest complaints from Facebook users over time has been the lack of easily
available and intuitive tools that users can use to more easily control what they see in
their Facebook news feed.
Finally, in 2021, Facebook started taking serious steps to make these tools available,
introducing what Facebook calls News Feed Preferences.
You can use Facebook's News Feed Preferences to add friends or pages you want to prioritize
posts from, unfollow or re-follow people, and snooze posts from specific friends.
In this video I'll show you how to customize your Facebook news feed in both the Facebook
mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices, and on the Facebook.com website.
Let's start by looking at how to access and use the Facebook news feed preferences feature
in the Facebook app on iPhone, iPad or Android.
Step 1.
Launch the Facebook app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device.
Your Facebook home screen is shown.
Step 2.
Tap the "Menu" icon in the tray along the bottom of the screen.
The Menu screen is shown.
Step 3.
Scroll down the Menu screen and then tap to expand "Settings and Privacy."
Tap "Settings" in this list.
The Settings screen is shown.
Step 4.
Scroll down to the News Feed Settings section, and then tap "News Feed Preferences."
The News Feed Preferences screen is shown.
Each of these options gives you a different way to customize your Facebook news feed.
Step 5.
Tapping "Favorites" opens the Favorites screen, where you can tap to either add specific friends
or pages as favorites, which will prioritize posts from them in your Facebook news feed.
Step 6.
Tapping "Unfollow" brings up a screen where you can tap people you want to unfollow, which
means you'll still be friends with those individuals, but you'll no longer see posts from them in
your news feed.
Step 7.
Tapping "Reconnect" brings up a screen showing people you've unfollowed.
Tapping any of those individuals will re-follow those people, and you'll again see posts from
those individuals in your news feed.
Step 8.
Tapping "Snooze" brings up a screen where you'll see a list of people you've snoozed
at one time or another.
You can use the button next to each person to either snooze or un-snooze those people.
Next let's walk through the steps to use the Facebook news feed preferences feature on
the Facebook.com website.
Step 1.
Open a web browser and then navigate to Facebook.com.
You'll land on your Facebook home screen.
Step 2.
Click the drop-down arrow in the top-right corner of the screen to open a menu, click
"Settings and Privacy" in the menu, and then click "News Feed Preferences."
The News Feed Preferences window opens.
Each of these options gives you a different way to customize your Facebook news feed.
Step 3.
Clicking "Manage Favorites" opens the Favorites screen, where you can click to either add
specific friends or pages as favorites, which will prioritize posts from them in your Facebook
news feed.
Step 4.
Clicking "Unfollow" brings up a screen where you can click people you want to unfollow,
which means you'll still be friends with those individuals, but you'll no longer see posts
from them in your news feed.
Step 5.
Clicking "Reconnect" brings up a screen showing people you've unfollowed.
Clicking any of those individuals will re-follow those people, and you'll again see posts from
those individuals in your news feed.
Step 6.
Clicking "Snooze" brings up a screen where you'll see a list of people you've snoozed
at one time or another.
You can use the button next to each person to either snooze or un-snooze those people.
