If your relationship status with the social media giant reads “It’s complicated”, Stuff is here to help you spruce things up with a whole load of tips for managing your feed.
THE BASICS
Find your favourites
Facebook shows what it thinks you should see in your feed. It’s often wrong. Bring back sanity by switching posts to reverse chronological order (click Most Recent under News Feed on desktop or in the hamburger menu on mobile). Fine-tune what you get by using News Feed > Edit Preferences on desktop, or News Feed Preferences on mobile
Get some peace
You have various ways to deal with annoying people. From a post, use the down-facing arrow (it’s an ellipsis on iOS) and snooze that person for 30 days – or unfollow them. Beyond that, you can head to their profile and unfriend them or go nuclear by choosing Block from the ‘…’ menu.
Save stories for later
If a post appears on your feed that needs more investigation than you can manage when shuffling towards a Clicks checkout, select Save from the post’s menu (the down arrow or ellipsis). Posts are listed in reverse chronological order and can be accessed from the sidebar on desktop, and from the hamburger menu on mobile.
