Facebook makes it easier to tweak what you see in your feed

In addition to selecting who or what page you will see first, you’ll still to be able to “unfollow” friends so you won’t see them at all.

Responding to feedback from people on the social network, the company said Thursday it’s releasing new tools that allow users to select friends and pages they would like to see first in their stream of posts, photos and videos.

The social media giant is allowing users to see more from the friends and family members they like and less from those they don’t really care for. So unless you want to see someone’s posts all the time or not at all, you’re stuck with what you’ve got.

“You can say, I always want to see at the very top of my feed these people”, Carey explained. Being called the “see first” feature, this option will be available in the updated version of the preferred batch controls.

The core purpose of introducing this new feature will make it possible for users to see information about people that matter to them, instead of browsing through the entire page in search of updates.

Facebook has long been controlling what appears in our daily newsfeed, sometimes burying posts that might be more interesting under newer and more popular posts.

As stated by NBC News, Facebook has announced that it will be tweaking its newsfeed yet again to increase its user-friendliness features for a better experience.

Facebook’s computer software uses a wide range of information you provide to decide what to show.

“Facebook can already deduce a lot of that based on who you interact with so it’s just sending a more clear signal to Facebook about what you are interested in”, Williamson said.
