Facebook rolls out Snooze feature that lets users mute their friends By Lulu Chang DecemShare Don’t have the pluck to unfriend folks on Facebook, but don’t have the patience for. Over the next week, we’re launching Snooze, which will give you the option to temporarily unfollow a person, Page or group for 30 days. The forever-unfollow feature is still best for uncles who think pizzagate is real and for your childhood friend who uses the site to recap everything their child ate and said the entire day. One of our core News Feed values is giving people more control. It’s in the name-they’ll be done talking about it in 30 days. God bless and good riddance but you don’t have to be subjected to someone proselytizing the power of the Whole 30. They are going through a breakup and won’t stop posting inspirational quotes written in cursive script and wrongly attributed to Marilyn Monroe.It’ll be easier to be snarky without seeing all their earned congratulations. We help take the guesswork out of buying beds, mattresses, bedroom furniture and kids’ beds. They achieved a career goal you’ve been striving for forever and are getting an outpour of well-deserved attention for it.They recently got engaged and won’t stop using the phrase “my best friend” to describe their partner.Other very valid reasons to temporarily unfollow someone may include: Similar to forever-unfollowing someone, they have zero clue you’re doing it. When the 30 days is nearing end you’ll get a notification and have the option to renew hiding them. Users also have the option of snoozing a page they've liked, with the important exception of UrbanDaddy (kidding).įacebook product manager Shruti Muraleedharan wrote in a blog post announcing the feature, “Seeing too many photos of your uncle’s new cat? Is your friend tempting you with endless photos of ramen on her Japan trip? It turns out you’re not alone.” Thank god. Unlike the earlier option of simply unfollowing them forever, this is a temporary fix for dealing with someone who is temporarily annoying the shit out of you. On Friday, Facebook released a new feature, which they're calling "Snooze," where you can mute a friend for 30 days.
