Mute Feature on Facebook
Muting someone on Facebook is a subtle way to control your News Feed without completely unfriending or blocking them. When you mute someone, their posts and updates will no longer appear on your feed, but you remain friends, and they won’t be notified of your action. It’s like putting their content on a virtual mute button.
There are two options to mute someone on Facebook, and they are as follows:
- Temporary mute by snoozing someone for 30 days.
- Permanently mute by unfollowing someone.
