You can unfollow someone by snoozing, blocking them, or reconnecting with them. Below, I&#8217;ll discuss each of these methods. First, let&#8217;s start with the easiest: log into your Facebook account. This process works similarly on the mobile app and desktop browser. In both cases, you&#8217;ll find a post from the person you wish to unfollow. Tap the three dots icon at the top right of that post. A drop-down menu will appear. Choose &#8220;Unfollow&#8221; from the list of options that appears.<\/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>Unfollowing someone on Facebook allows you to control the posts you see from that person. Although you won&#8217;t see any posts from them, they will still show up in your feed. You can unfollow someone to keep them from distracting you while you&#8217;re scrolling mindlessly through your news feed. Luckily, unfollowing has many benefits. It will prevent you from feeling bad each time you log into Facebook, and you&#8217;ll have more time to accomplish other things.<\/p>\n<p>The process for unfollowing someone on Facebook is similar for both the desktop version and mobile app. To unfollow someone, visit their profile page and locate their latest post. Tap the three dots icon in the upper right corner of their post. The drop-down menu will have options for you to choose from, including &#8220;Unfollow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snoozing\"><\/span>Snoozing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using the snooze function on Facebook can be a useful way to avoid re-reading someone&#8217;s posts. The feature allows you to snooze any posts for 30 days without seeing them again. However, snoozed posts won&#8217;t appear on the news feed for 30 days after you unfollow them. You can undo accidentally done snoozes by selecting the three-dot icon in the top right corner of the post.<\/p>\n<p>The first step to snooze someone on Facebook is to go to their profile. Then, go to the section where the person&#8217;s name is listed. Click the snoozed icon. A message will appear indicating that the person has been snoozed. Then, simply click on the snoozed post and click &#8220;Unsnooze.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking\"><\/span>Blocking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By blocking someone on Facebook, you&#8217;re denying them access to your profile and any posts you make. The person you block can&#8217;t post on your wall, view your mutual friends&#8217; walls, or find your profile. However, you&#8217;ll still be able to see posts and comments from people you&#8217;re friends with. Here&#8217;s how. Follow the steps below to block someone on Facebook. But be warned: the process is not foolproof. If you&#8217;re not sure you want to block someone, read on!<\/p>\n<p>To block someone on Facebook, go to the &#8220;Messages&#8221; tab. Click on &#8220;Block&#8221; in the left column of their message history. You&#8217;ll notice a yellow icon appear next to their message. When this happens, you&#8217;ve blocked them. Their messages will be moved to your spam folder. You&#8217;ll never receive them again, so this is a smart way to keep unwanted messages out of your timeline. However, don&#8217;t worry: ignoring messages doesn&#8217;t mean that you&#8217;ll have to unfriend them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reconnecting\"><\/span>Reconnecting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve unfollowed a friend or group on Facebook, there are ways to reconnect with them. You can do so by tapping on their profile photo, page, or group. If you blocked a friend, they won&#8217;t appear in your unfollow list, but you can reconnect with them. Here&#8217;s how. First, find out why they unfollowed you in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>When you unfollowed someone on Facebook, they&#8217;ll no longer appear on your News Feed. If you don&#8217;t want to miss out on their updates, simply re-follow them. If the person you&#8217;ve unfollowed has a profile photo, tap on it and select the &#8220;Follow&#8221; option. Once you&#8217;ve unfollowed them, Facebook will remember their posts for 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>Then, follow the same steps to reconnect. Facebook won&#8217;t notify you that the person has unfollowed you, so your former connection will probably wonder why their posts have disappeared from their News Feed. If you&#8217;re worried that you&#8217;ll lose contact with your former connection, you can use a third-party browser plugin to alert you of their unfriending. You can also unblock them in the News Feed Preferences page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Unfollow Someone on Facebook?
