Is there anything more important in Facebook than the News Feed? It is where users flock to see what is going on with friends, family, and complete strangers. It is your News Feed and you should be the one controlling it. That is why Facebook is handing over the keys to News Feed right to you.

On desktop and mobile, Facebook launched a News Feed settings area. It shows which people, pages, and groups a user is following and not following. It allows for quick following or unfollowing. To show who posts the most, the most visible users are shown. Facebook wants feedback to really tailor the News Feed. Is someone posting too much? Then elect to “See less” from them. It will not completely unfollow them if you do not want to, but it will definitely silence them a bit.

The changes are already live on Facebook's desktop site and the mobile version will see it in the coming weeks.
