I don't want one of my friend's content to appear in my Facebook news feed. How do I remove it? I tried clicking the arrow button and "removing from feed" but it still shows in my feed daily!

I even doubled check this. If I click on the "Friends" button on their main page, it says "Show in news feed" unchecked. But it still shows! What gives?

  • Are you using the web interface or an app? Some apps for Facebook have very limited controls (I hate the iPad version, for example). The web interface running on a popular and modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE9) provides the best way. Apps have to be udpated/released/etc. whereas the javascript in the web version just gets loaded dynamically when you visit the site.

  • I'm using the full web version in Safari on the desktop.

In the left column, where your different groups and pages are listed, right on top there's News Feed. You can see and edit your settings there. Only the friends/pages/groups you've unsubscribed/selected hide content are listed there. And this works fine.

    Well, that's really strange. This should have worked. I'll try to figure out the problem.

  • Any ideas? Could it be because I have too little friends?

Facebook's help says you can unsubscribe from someone. This works for me.

  • I followed exactly that instruction and my friend still shows in my news feed.

  • @erotsppa It's a glitch. Give it some time. If it doesn't fix itself, try the operation again.

Recently added1: Simply go to your friend's profile and click the "Following" button (so that it now reads "Follow"). (You can also do that if you hover over their name in your feed.)

Now you can be friends with them but their status updates won't appear in your feed. (It may take some time for content that's already there to age out.)
