How To Filter Unnecessary Likes And Comments From Your Facebook News Feed


Lately, Facebook’s news feed has become even more cluttered than usual, informing you of every comment your friends make and every page they like. If you want to keep your feed a little cleaner, reader Justin Beeson shows us how.

You can always customise Facebook with browser extensions or other tweaks, but if you just want to fix this annoyance, Facebook has a method built-in. You’ll need a friends list to start with, but you should be using those anyway — they’re a great way to filter out the people you don’t really care about.

Click on your friend list of choice in the left sidebar, and click the “Manage List” button in the top right-hand corner. Click “Choose Update Types, and then click “Manage List” again to show the full list of possible updates. From there, you can uncheck things like “Comments and Likes”, “Games” and any other updates that clutter up your news feed.
