Facebook introduced a new feature to their social media site, the snooze button. It lets users to temporarily unfollow any person for 30 days. This new feature also works with pages and groups. So if there’s a certain publication or an organization that keeps on posting about topics you’re not currently interested in, you can snooze them.
The company has actually been testing the snooze button for a few months. The option to snooze a friend will appear in the right-corner drop-down menu on their posts. As it was just rolled out, some users might not have it yet. Just wait for a few more weeks to appear.
“We’ve heard from people that they want more options to determine what they see in News Feed and when they see it,” noted Facebook product manager Shruthi Muraleedharan, in a blog post. “With Snooze, you don’t have to unfollow or unfriend permanently, rather just stop seeing someone’s posts for a short period of time. The people, Pages, and groups you snooze will not be notified. You will be notified before the Snooze period is about to end, and the setting can also be reversed at any time.”
