Temporarily mute friends with Facebook ‘snooze’

Are you tired of friends’ non-stop vacation photos popping up on your news feed? Annoyed with people constantly talking about an upcoming get-together? Well, have no fear as Facebook is here to help you.

Facebook is testing a new ‘snooze’ feature which allows used to unfollow friends, pages or groups for 24 hours, seven days or 30 days, according to Tech Crunch.

Currently, the social media app allows users to ‘unfollow’ another user. However, the unfollow option results in hiding the person permanently from your news feed.

The process of Snoozing is quite simple. The user just has to press the three dots on the right of a post and select the snooze option. After clicking snooze option, the user will be asked the period of time for the snooze.
