How To Unsnooze Someone On Facebook

Understanding the Snooze Feature on Facebook

The Snooze feature on Facebook allows you to temporarily hide posts from certain friends or pages without unfollowing or unfriending them. Snoozing posts can help you declutter your News Feed and only see content that you’re interested in at the moment.

Here’s how the Snooze feature works:

When you snooze someone, their posts will be hidden from your News Feed for 30 days. After 30 days, the Snooze feature will automatically expire, and their posts will start appearing in your News Feed again.

You can snooze someone for as many times as you want. However, if you snooze someone multiple times, the Snooze period will be extended each time. For example, if you snooze someone for 30 days and then snooze them again for 30 days, their posts will be hidden from your News Feed for 60 days.

You can also choose to snooze someone indefinitely. This means that their posts will be hidden from your News Feed until you manually unsnooze them.

Here are some of the benefits of using the Snooze feature:

30 days	Your friend’s posts and stories will be hidden from your News Feed for 30 days.
Unfollow for 30 days	In addition to hiding your friend’s posts and stories, you will also be unfollowed from them for 30 days. This means you will not see any of their posts or stories in your News Feed, even if they tag you or share something with you.
Snooze for an indefinite period	Your friend’s posts and stories will be hidden from your News Feed until you manually unsnooze them.

To snooze someone, simply click the three dots in the top right corner of their post and select “Snooze for 30 days.” You can also snooze someone from their profile page by clicking the “Friends” button and selecting “Snooze.”

Once you’ve snoozed someone, their posts and stories will no longer appear in your News Feed. However, you can still view their posts by visiting their profile page or searching for them in the search bar.

You can unsnooze someone at any time by following the same steps as above and selecting “Unsnooze.”

Best Practices for Using the Snooze Feature

To get the most out of the Snooze feature, consider the following best practices:

1. Use Snooze Sparingly

Snoozing should be used as a temporary measure, not a long-term solution. Continuously snoozing posts can clutter your feed and make it difficult to find relevant content.

2. Snooze Only Relevant Posts

Don’t snooze posts that you don’t want to see. Snooze should be used to hide specific posts or topics that are not of interest.

3. Set a Snooze Duration

Specify a snooze duration to ensure that snoozed posts reappear in your feed after a set period. This prevents snoozed posts from being lost indefinitely.

4. Review Snoozed Posts Regularly

Make it a habit to review your snoozed posts periodically. This allows you to catch up on anything you may have missed and un-snooze relevant posts.

5. Use Snooze to Filter Sponsored Content

Snooze can be used to filter out unwanted sponsored content. Snooze sponsored posts from specific advertisers or topics to improve your feed experience.

6. Snooze Posts from Specific Pages

If you regularly see posts from certain pages that you don’t want to see, snooze those pages to remove their posts from your feed.

7. Snooze Keyword-Specific Posts

Snooze allows you to snooze posts that contain specific keywords or phrases. This is useful for filtering out posts about topics you’re not interested in.

8. Use Snooze to Control Post Frequency

For posts from friends or pages that you want to see but less frequently, snooze them for a specific duration to control how often they appear in your feed.

9. Un-Snooze Posts When Necessary

If you snoozed a post by mistake or if you’re interested in seeing it again, simply un-snooze it to make it reappear in your feed.

10. Snooze Posts from Multiple People

If multiple people are posting about the same topic that you’re not interested in, snooze all of their posts at once by selecting “Snooze all posts about this topic” from the post options menu. This is useful for quickly filtering out large amounts of unwanted content.
