How to Unfollow Facebook Friends

Raise your hand if you are legitimately interested in checking out every single entry that every single one of your Facebook friends posts.

Right. Us neither.

Luckily, there are options for cutting down on friend spam in your Facebook news feed. The first, and most obvious, is to outright unfriend those certain post-happy co-workers or old high school classmates — of course, that’ll certainly put you at risk of ticking them off. So instead, we suggest you try the more diplomatic course of action: unfollow them.

You can find the options to do so beneath the Following button at the top of a friend’s Facebook profile. Mouse over it and select the Unfollow option that appears in the drop-down menu. After you unfollow a friend, their posts will no longer appear in your news feed. Not a one.

And don’t worry, he or she won’t be notified that you’ve unfollowed them.

And that’s all you gotta do to eliminate boss selfies (like this one above from mine) from your Facebook news feed.
