Facebook is giving you control over your news feed

Facebook takes a pretty heavy hand in deciding what
posts rise to the top of your News Feed and which
ones never show up at all, but a new update from the
social network promises to give users a bit more
control. The company just rolled out extra options for
muting your friends, along with a new settings menu
for managing your News Feed.
The next time you decide to banish a status update
from your News Feed you’ll be presented with a new
option to “See less” from that particular person or
page, which is great for those friends who can’t go
five minutes without posting something new to
Facebook. You’ll also have the option to unfollow
someone entirely, though you’ll still be “friends” on
the site.
Even better is Facebook’s new News Feed Settings
menu, which offers a rundown of which friends’ status
updates you’ve seen most in the past week. From there
you can quickly unfollow or choose to see less from
any person or page. You’ll also see a list of people
you’ve unfollowed, with the option to reverse each
decision with a single tap.
Facebook says the News Feed Settings menu is hitting
its mobile app and desktop site starting today.
Meanwhile the ability to give more feedback right from
your News Feed should arrive on the main site today
and roll out to smartphones and tablets in the next few
weeks.
