How To Unfollow Pages On Facebook App

Facebook is a terrific way to stay in touch with family members and friends, especially those you want to keep in touch with from afar. Unfortunately, your friends' list is likely to be full of folks you can't unfriend but don't want to hear from.

Unfollowing someone on Facebook, thankfully, accomplishes this. Furthermore, if you unfollow someone's Facebook posts, they won't know. Facebook doesn't allow users to see a list of friends who aren't following them.

When you unfollow a page on Facebook, you'll no longer receive notifications or changes in your News Feed. You can still be able to see the page and its articles if you manually navigate to it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if you unfollow a Facebook friend?

Unfollowing one of your Facebook friends has no bearing on their "following" of you. You will no longer see their posts in your News, but your friend will continue to see posts posted by you in their News Feeds if they are following you.

Is it preferable to unfriend or unfollow someone?

You can unfriend someone if you don't want them to see your postings and are okay with not seeing theirs, but you don't want to block them. You can unfollow someone if their posts irritate you.

When you unfollow someone on Facebook, do your friends know?

You will no longer see posts if you unfollow someone. They aren't even aware that you have unfollowed them. If someone asks if you've seen a specific post, you may blame Facebook's algorithms. Also, you can pretend you haven't been paying attention to Facebook recently.

How can you tell if someone on Facebook has snoozed on you?

Send a message to their profile to see if they've blocked you on Facebook Messenger. If you see an error notice that says, "This person isn't available right now," it means they've either blocked you or canceled their account.
