Customise the content in your Facebook feed

As well as cluttering your news feed with ads, Facebook also recommends content from companies, communities and people that might interest you, or that’s been ‘liked’ by your friends. These posts can prove annoying when they’re irrelevant and unnnerving when they relate to your activities in other apps, so we’re pleased that Facebook has introduced new ways to customise the content you see.

When a recommended post appears in your feed, you can now tap the three-dot icon in its top-right corner and choose ‘Show less’ (see screenshot below left) to see fewer posts like it, or ‘Show more’ if – for some reason – you want to see more of that type of content.
