Unfollow Posts

Facebook Finally Lets You Unfollow Posts

The Problem: You ‘Like’ or comment on one of your friend’s status updates, videos, or photos because you think it’s neat, cool, unique, etc… and you want to let them know – but you really don’t care what their other friends have to say about it.

The Original Solution: Shut off all notifications from your Account Settings.

The Problem With The Original Solution: You may actually care what others are saying about some of the posts so you’d really rather not shut them off altogether.

The New Solution: Unfollow Posts! Now if you ‘Like’ or comment on one of your friend’s posts – as soon as someone else comments after you – you can click on that notification – return to the post and opt to “Unfollow Post”.

If you are a Google Plus user, this is the exact same function as “muting” a comment thread – so I guess we have Google to thank for inspiring Facebook to add this little update.
