Facebook has rolled out \u201cSnooze\u201d feature in News Feed that will give its over two billion users option to temporarily unfollow a person, Page or group for 30 days.The feature will help users take a temporary break from posts by friends, pages or groups without unfriending, unfollowing or leaving them forever.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy selecting \u2018Snooze\u2019 in the top-right drop-down menu of a post, you won\u2019t see content from those people, Pages or groups in your News Feed for that time period,\u201d Shruthi Muraleedharan, Product Manager at Facebook, wrote in a blog post.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve heard from people that they want more options to determine what they see in News Feed and when they see it. With \u2018Snooze\u2019, you don\u2019t have to unfollow or unfriend permanently, rather just stop seeing someone\u2019s posts for a short period of time,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The \u201cSnooze\u201d feature is being seen as a better way of managing a user\u2019s News Feed while taking a break from a chatty person, group or page.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people, Pages, and groups you snooze will not be notified. You will be notified before the \u2018Snooze\u2019 period is about to end and the setting can also be reversed at any time,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n
With features like Unfollow, Hide, Report and See First, Facebook has consistently been working toward helping people tailor their News Feed experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs News Feed evolves, we\u2019ll continue to provide easy-to-use tools to give you the most personalised experience possible every time you visit Facebook,\u201d the post said.
