Facebook is an excellent platform to keep yourself updated with the latest happenings in your friends and family members’ lives. However, there might be some posts that you do not want to see or want to hide. For instance, posts on politics, baby pictures, or consistent updates can be annoying to some users. Whatever be the reason, Facebook provides users the option to hide posts from their newsfeed. In this article, we will explain how to hide posts on Facebook.

Step 1: Locate the post that you want to hide.

Log in to your Facebook account using your credentials. You will be taken to the Facebook homepage where you will see several posts from your friends and family. Scroll down the page and locate the post that you want to hide.

Step 2: Click on the three dots.

Hover your cursor over the post that you want to hide; you will see three dots on the top right corner of the post. Click on these three dots.

Step 3: Choose the option to hide the post.

Once you click on the three dots, a drop-down menu will appear. The first option will be ‘Hide post.’ Click on it.

Step 4: Confirm the action.

Once you click on ‘Hide post,’ a confirmation message will appear. It will ask if you want to hide posts from the user or the page that posted the content. You can select the option according to your preference.

Step 5: The post is hidden.

Once you confirm the action, the post you wanted to hide will be removed from your newsfeed. This way, you can effectively hide the post without having to unfriend the person or unlike the page.

Step 6: Managing hidden posts.

In case you want to see the hidden post again, you can access the ‘Activity Log’ on Facebook. The Activity Log will show you all your activity on Facebook, including the hidden posts. To access the Activity Log, click on the down arrow on the top right corner of the screen and select ‘Activity Log.’

In conclusion, Facebook provides users with the option to hide posts from their newsfeed. It is an effective way to prevent unwanted content from appearing on your Facebook page. However, it is important to note that hiding a person or page’s post will not prevent their posts from appearing on your Facebook page altogether. It will only hide individual posts. To prevent a person’s posts from appearing on your page, you must unfriend or unfollow them.
