By blocking them. This is a better option than unfriending them, and will stop annoying aunts from ranting about politics. You may not want to unfriend someone who has a political rant going on in her profile, but it is better than not accepting their friend request. If you want to block them, you can use the Restricted list to do it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollow_people_and_groups_to_hide_their_posts\"><\/span>Unfollow people and groups to hide their posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One option is to unfollow a person or group on Facebook. This action will hide all of their updates from your feed, but you can still view their posts if you are following them. However, unlike unfriending, this does not remove them from your friends list. You can still unfollow a person or group if you want to take a break from social media. Luckily, Facebook has many features that help you curate your feed to see only the best content. You can also choose to hide some posts from the timeline of a friend, or report their posts if they are inappropriate or offensive.<\/p>\n<p>The first step to hiding a post on Facebook is to find it. To do this, you can click the three horizontal dots in the upper-right corner of a post. Then, choose &#8220;Hide&#8221; from the drop-down menu that appears. This will block the post from appearing in your news feed for the next 30 days. Of course, you may miss some posts, so it is a good idea to snooze them a few days before you see them again.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can unfollow multiple people or groups at once. You can unfollow several people or groups by tapping the menu icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This will take you to the settings menu of Facebook, where you can choose News Feed Preferences and Unfollow People and Groups to Hide Posts. Facebook will not ask you to confirm this action, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about accidentally unfollowing them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Facebooks_Restricted_list_to_hide_posts_from_people\"><\/span>Use Facebook&#8217;s Restricted list to hide posts from people<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to use Facebook&#8217;s Restricted list to hide some posts from people without unfriending them? There are two ways to do this. You can either add a list to people you don&#8217;t want to see certain posts from, or you can unfriend these people. Facebook has lists for a reason, but they are designed to help you categorize people. To add people to your restricted list, simply hover over their name, then click on the &#8220;add to restricted list&#8221; option. This way, your posts won&#8217;t be visible to others, but only to friends you have added to the list.<\/p>\n<p>Using the Restricted list to hide posts from people you don&#8217;t want to unfriend can be a very effective way to protect your privacy on Facebook. Facebook doesn&#8217;t always alert users when their posts have been restricted. However, it does provide some clues. If a person has &#8220;public&#8221; globes at the top of their profile, their posts aren&#8217;t visible to the public. If they&#8217;ve been restricted, they might have set their post visibility to public.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use Facebook&#8217;s Restricted list to hide your posts from people without unfriending them. Once you&#8217;ve added the list, you can start adding your friends to it. This will only exclude posts from people you don&#8217;t want them to see, so don&#8217;t worry about losing any of your friends. You can still communicate with them using Messenger and see their posts on your News Feed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Facebooks_Restricted_list_to_hide_posts_from_people\"><\/span>Using Facebook&#8217;s Restricted list to hide posts from people<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook&#8217;s Restricted list lets you hide posts from certain people without unfriending them. These lists are handy when you&#8217;re sharing links or writing a post, or when you want to keep some people from seeing your personal posts or controversial comments. To use the Restricted list, simply open the Facebook browser on your PC and select the audience for your post.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a private wall, the Restricted list lets you control who sees what you post on Facebook. While a person can still be a friend, their posts will not be visible to anyone else. You can browse through their posts to see if you can make any of them private without unfriending them. Alternatively, you can hide your posts completely, which will leave a gap in your news feed.<\/p>\n<p>Adding people to your restricted list is easy and does not cause them to receive an email or other notification. However, they will not receive your posts, and you will still be able to contact them through Messenger. This method is much less stressful than blocking someone. Then, you can reclaim your social space. When the restrictions are lifted, the restricted list will be hidden for those people.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"436\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d1wXCON8j98\" height=\"244\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Hide Posts From Someone Without Unfriending Them on Facebook?
