How to Mute Someone on Facebook

Facebook is one of the most popular social networking platforms, with millions of users worldwide. If you’re an active Facebook user, your feed is likely filled with posts from your friends and followers in the form of text, photos, or videos.

Sometimes, you may come across posts that you don’t like or find spammy but don’t want to unfriend or block the person posting them. In such cases, muting them is a great option. When you mute someone, their posts will no longer appear in your News Feed, but you can still view their profile and check their posts manually. Facebook allows you to either snooze someone’s posts for 30 days or unfollow them to hide all future posts. Here’s how to do it:
