How to Set Up a Facebook Feed on iPhone, iPad, and Android

Are you tired of seeing unrelated things in your Facebook feed? If yes, then I have good news for you. You can set/customize your Facebook feed settings to receive important updates from friends and family members. To make this more efficient, Facebook is launching a new tool for changing posts in your news feeds. In addition, there are several ways to customize the Facebook feed on your iPhone, iPad, and Android device. Let’s jump!

New – by selecting Show more or Show less

Facebook has announced its new tools to allow users to personalize their feeds. You can see the new “Show more”and “Show less”buttons in the posts of people and communities you follow, as well as suggested posts. If you select the “Show more”option, this will increase the rating of this and related posts. In addition, Facebook will use videos to start testing new features.

Likewise, the ranking score will drop briefly if you choose “Show Less”. According to Facebook, your decisions affect the content you view over the next 60 days. In addition, soon you will be able to access the buttons at any time by simply clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner. In this way, Facebook can improve the intelligence and responsiveness of its AI algorithms.

According to a Facebook blog post: “Features like this can help you find more content that works for you so you can see more of what you need and less of what you don’t. If you select Show more, the rating of this post and similar ones will instantly increase. His ranking will drop briefly if you select Show Less. We are improving the direct input options available in Channel Ranking to make our AI algorithms more intelligent and responsive.”

So, you can understand that Facebook wants to improve its algorithm to determine what posts and videos users actually want to view. So it can increase user engagement with short video. While we can’t access the new settings on the desktop website or Android app, the Meta post contains a picture of them.

So, it’s all about the new Facebook feed personalization tool. Now let’s learn about some other ways to customize your Facebook feed.

Meta is trying to keep up with the times to keep its user base, and personalization is one of those ways. Now let’s discuss other ways to personalize your Facebook News Feed.

Customize your Facebook Feed settings on iPhone and Android devices.

  1. Click on the Menu in the lower right corner.
  2. Now click “Settings”at the top.
  3. In Settings, select News Feed.

You can change several settings in this area. In Favorites, you can select up to 30 people or Pages whose posts you want to always see at the top of the feed. Here, Facebook will first show your friends in the “Suggested”section based on the title of your activity. Just click the “Add”button next to your friend’s name. In addition, there is a list of pages to choose which pages to display first.

You can do the same by clicking on the three dots at the top right of the post and selecting the “Add to Favorites”option. In addition, you can choose which posts you don’t want to see in your News Feed. To do this, go to the “Unsubscribe”section. In addition, there is an option to reconnect with people you have unfollowed.

Watch a specific news feed

By default, the Facebook News Feed combines your friends’ top posts, pages you like, and groups you’re a member of. But what if you only want to see updates from your friends?

  1. Click on the menu on the main Facebook page. Then click on channels.
  2. Now on the top bar you can see options like Everyone, Favorites, Friends, Groups, and Pages.

Hide unwanted messages

You can use the “Hide Post”option to see fewer updates from a Facebook page or a specific friend. How? Read more.

  1. Click on the three dots at the top of the post you don’t like in your feed.
  2. From the drop-down menu, select Hide Post.

The pop-up menu will appear a few seconds after you hide the post. You can then go one step further and delay the hidden posting for a specific amount of time. In the Post Hidden menu, you can delay the recording for 30 days.

Hide ads or adjust ad preferences

Facebook is great at tailoring ads based on your search history and other activities. But sometimes it can display irrelevant ads in your feed. And the good news is that you can remove them to clean up your Facebook news feed. When you see an irrelevant ad repeating in your News Feed:

  1. Click on the three dots at the top of the ad. (marked as sponsored)
  2. Click “Hide Ads”in the menu. You will no longer see ads while surfing.
  3. In the same menu, you can also find out why you are seeing this ad, or report it if you have problems with its content.
  4. You can then go one step further and select “Hide all ads from this advertiser”. On the same screen, you can also make changes to your advertising preferences.

So that’s all for today, friends!

If your News Feed doesn’t include relevant posts by default, you might be annoyed. But you can take control and customize your Facebook feed to suit your preferences rather than letting Facebook decide what to display and prioritize. Let me know in the comments if you found this guide helpful!
