The social network Facebook has become a whole social magazinewhere you can find out about the lives of the friends and relatives to whom you have been added, as well as the news , latest publications and other content from pages and celebrities to those that follow. Something that can always be interesting for the user, although from time to time he comes across content that is not to his liking.Although Facebook already allowed you to unfollow a publication to avoid running into unpleasant content without losing your “friendship” or relationship in the social network, now the personalization possibilities are expanded in the Latest News sectionto improve content presence.
In this way, Facebook has introduced two new features in the personalization of the user's Latest News section. That wall where you receive all the posts from your friends, the groups you follow, or the pages you are a fan of. On the one hand there is its new Settings menu, which can be found in the right tab of the application, descending to the bottom of the menu, where you can locate under the name Manage the news section
From here the user, instead of seeing a list ordered alphabetically with all the contacts, people, pages and groups that they follow or not, now it is ordered according to viewing frequency. In this way, the user can see, separated into different tabs to differentiate groups of people,Which are the most viewed in the last week Thus, it is easier to find herethem most recent contacts, pages or groups and leave to follow them All this with the understanding that, even if they stop following them, their relationship on this social network is not broken In the same way, Those who were unfollowed also appear, allowing you to quickly re-follow them simply by activating the option next to their name.
But there are more interesting news about it on FacebookAnd it is that, apart from following or not a page, person or group, now the user can set the frequency with which their publications appear in the Latest News sectionWith this, you could receive fewer posts on this wall to avoid saturation if said source is too intense or heavy.
