How do I unsubscribe from someone?

There are two ways to unsubscribe from someone:



Go to that person’s profile (timeline). From there, hover your mouse over the Subscribed button and click Unsubscribe.

You can also unsubscribe by clicking next to a post you see in your News Feed and selecting Unsubscribe.



After you unsubscribe, the subscribe button on the top of their profile (timeline) will reappear as an option.



You can also fine-tune the types of posts you see from someone you are subscribed to.

What exactly does unsubscribing mean? And can the other person see that you’ve unsubscribed from them? Let’s explore.



What does it mean? There are two choices you have when you unsubscribe from someone in your News Feed (or you can go to their page and unsubscribe). In the News Feed you have:



Unsubscribe from the person.

Unsubscribe from status updates from the person.



The first one unsubscribes you from getting that person’s “stories” in your News Feed. The second one unsubscribes you from getting that person’s “updates” in your News Feed. So what in the heck is the difference?



The first option you get after you’ve commented on post they’ve made. Now their post is getting lots of comments and since you commented, you now become part of their “story” and thus, you are getting an update every time someone comments. “Stories” are how Facebook comprises your News Feed (since their last update), and these are posts that either a) have a photo or video, or b) have comments from people. The bland status updates from friends who just write text, unless someone comments on them, get pushed way down to the bottom and you probably will never scroll that far to see them. However, they will appear in the News Ticker in the upper right.



The second option allows you stop getting any kind of status update that they post from now on, which is indicated in the self-select option you get when you subscribed to their feed. Oh wait, you didn’t actually subscribe to their feed, Facebook automatically subscribed you to all of your friends when they rolled out this new feature. So, you will need to go to that person’s page and click on Subscribe in the upper right and select which types of updates you want to get from that person, if any at all. If you don’t want to go through the trouble of “unfriending” and dealing with the repercussions, then unsubscribing from their status updates is a nice alternative.



The good news? Neither of these options alerts the other person. Nor does “unfriending” them. They never know you are not seeing their updates. And they only know you “unfriended” them if they go looking for you. Meaning, if they go to type your name in to tag you in a photo or post, you won’t come up automatically; and when they go to your page they will see “Send Friend Request” which will be a dead give away.

To block someone: 1.Click the account menu at the top right of any Facebook page and choose Privacy Settings. 2.Find the Block Lists section and click Manage Block Lists. 3.Enter the name or email address of the person you want to block and click Block. People will not be notified when you block them. If you can’t find someone using this method, try going to the person’s profile (timeline) and selecting Report/Block This Person from the dropdown. If you still can’t block someone using the methods described above, it’s possible that this person left Facebook or restricted their privacy settings. You can still prevent them from viewing your profile (timeline) by adjusting your privacy settings. Face Book Help Center
