    Unfollowing on Facebook
    « on: December 02, 2017, 04:12:58 AM »
    I am trying to unfollow someone on Facebook, whilst leaving them as a friend.   The Facebook help says to go to the person's page, hover over 'Following' and select 'Unfollow'.   However, the person's page doesn't say 'Following' anywhere.   Please advise.

      When you unfollow someone, you won't see their posts in your News Feed, but you'll still be friends with them. To unfollow a person, Page or group: Click in the top-right corner of Facebook. Select News Feed Preferences.
      To unfollow a person, Page or group directly:
      Go to the profile, Page or group you want to unfollow
      Hover over Following (on a profile or Page) or click Joined (in a group) near their cover photo
      Select Unfollow

      The Unfollow option can be found various ways.  One way is to go to your list of friends and then hover your mouse over the person's name you want to Unfollow.  This will display a panel showing buttons for Friends, Following, and Message across the bottom of it.  Pointing to Following will display a sub-panel, or popup, that shows an option to Unfollow.  Click it to Unfollow.

      Do you know how to find your list of Friends?

      You can only use the Follow/Unfollow option if they have following enabled in the options, otherwise it's on by default
