New Delhi: Facebook has replaced its “Hide All” button with “Unfollow” button. This allows users to block all messages and posts from selected friends.
The Unfollow button work pretty much the same as the Hide All button as it gives users the option of blocking content from certain people without offending them, say through de-friending.
"This means you are still friends, but updates from that person won't appear in your News Feed. The goal of this change is to help people curate their newsfeed and see more of the content that they care about," Facebook said in an email.
Next to the “Like” button in profiles, Facebook will also show users whether they're following someone.
However, the mechanics of following, which allows you to follower a user's public updates without becoming their friend, will remain the same.
