Facebook News Feed gets smarter

Facebook helps you to get updates on what’s the ‘Just in’ thing in each and every friend’s life on your FB wall. But many a times, you don’t wish to know what’s happening in selected people’s lives.

In order to help you unfollow certain friends on Facebook, the social media site has upgraded its News Feed page with various options.

News Feed settings will now show a list of the top people, Pages and Groups that you’ve seen in your News Feed over the past week. You can choose to sort by people, Pages or Groups posts, or see an overall summary. Unfollow any friend, Page or Group if you don’t want to see their stories in your News Feed. You can also see who you’ve unfollowed in the past and can choose to re-follow them at anytime.

If you see a story you’re not interested in or don’t want to see, you can tap the arrow in the top right of that story to hide it. Starting today, when you hide a story you’ll have the option to ask to see less from that person or Page.

If you choose to see less, you are then given the option to unfollow them if you don’t want to see any of their stories in your News Feed. You can always visit News Feed settings to see everything you’ve unfollowed and have the option to re-follow them.
