In this article, you will learn how to unfollow a page, profile, or person. The first step in unfollowing someone is to visit their profile page. From the top right-hand corner, click &#8220;Following&#8221; and then click the unfollow icon. Then, select the person or page you want to unfollow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollowing_someone_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Unfollowing someone on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve recently come across a post you disagree with on Facebook, you may be wondering how to unfollow it. First of all, it won&#8217;t change your timeline. The same goes for private posts. Unfollowing someone on Facebook will prevent them from seeing any of your updates for 30 days. It&#8217;s a simple, yet effective way to close off negative energy on Facebook. Read on to learn how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>To unfollow a person on Facebook, simply navigate to their post and tap the three dots in the top-right corner. This will remove them from your list of &#8220;active now&#8221; contacts. After doing this, you&#8217;ll no longer see their posts. You can also block them if you want to remain friends. Unfollowing someone on Facebook is a great way to keep negative energy off your feed, as it will eliminate your mindless scrolling and give you extra time to accomplish things.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollowing_a_page\"><\/span>Unfollowing a page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t yet unfollowed a page on Facebook, you may wonder how to do so. To unfollow a page, visit their profile and click the three dots to the left of their profile picture. On the right, select &#8220;Following,&#8221; and then click &#8220;Unfollow.&#8221; Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can go back to their profile and unfollow them. You will no longer see their posts or interactions in your newsfeed.<\/p>\n<p>You can also unfollow a page by clicking the &#8220;Unfollow&#8221; button. Clicking this button will hide all posts from that page from your timeline. Alternatively, you can click &#8220;See less of this page&#8221; if you don&#8217;t want to see the content from the page. Once you&#8217;ve unfollowed a page, you will no longer receive updates from that page. This option is also useful for contests, and you may not want to unfollow a page you&#8217;re involved in.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollowing_a_person\"><\/span>Unfollowing a person<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can unfollow a person on Facebook to stop their posts from appearing on your newsfeed. However, unfollowing a person is a one-way street. You will not be able to view their new posts or stories unless they follow you back. When you unfollow someone, you also do not have the ability to unfriend them. This is a convenient option if you don&#8217;t want to continue communicating with the person.<\/p>\n<p>The unfollow feature on Facebook first came into existence in 2013. It replaced the &#8220;Hide All&#8221; feature. Whether or not you&#8217;re deleting a person&#8217;s posts or simply unfollowing them, you can use this feature to get rid of a negative influence. Facebook aims to make unfollowing less permanent by providing a list of all those people who have unfollowed you. Here&#8217;s how it works.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollowing_a_profile\"><\/span>Unfollowing a profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have followed a profile, you can easily unfollow it by clicking on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the post. This will open a drop-down menu where you can select &#8220;Unfollow.&#8221; You will then be able to choose who to unfollow and what to do next. By unfollowing a profile, you will be able to prevent them from seeing your updates.<\/p>\n<p>You can also unfollow groups on Facebook. If a group has members who post similar content, you can unfollow them. You can also unfollow an ex by opening their profile and tapping on &#8220;Take a break.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unfollow in Facebook If you are wondering how to unfollow in Facebook, then you have come to the right place.
