How Other People Engaged With The Post — The more that other people have engaged with a particular post, the more likely that Facebook will show it to you too. Sometimes people and Pages post boring things few interact with, so it lets them sink into obscurity. What Type Of Post Is it — The more that you typically engage with a certain kind of post status, link, photo, video, event, job change, content from another app , the more Facebook will show you posts of that type.
Different people enjoy different kinds of posts. I might love reading news articles, you might love watching videos. When It Was Posted — The more recently a story was posted, the more likely you are to see it. Check every few minutes or hours, and Facebook will prioritize very recent posts. Go offline for a week and Facebook might surface a big story like your best friend having a baby even if it was posted 5 days ago. Combined, these factors have a heavy influence on how high up in the News Feed a post appears.
Over time as you interact with the News Feed, Facebook learns what you care about and evolves that understanding if your behavior changes. There are also several other significant factors that determine what you see in the News Feed, though not as heavily as those above. New Facebook Products — When Facebook releases a new product such as Live video or Slideshows, the company needs to test how much people want to interact with it.
It may initially show too many or too few News Feed stories about the product until it receives enough feedback to learn the appropriate level of visibility. Facebook also injects ads into the News Feed. The more Facebook knows about you, the more relevant the ads will be. Implicit signals come from your normal behavior on Facebook. Every story has a little drop-down arrow in the top right corner that lets you:.
This lets you pick people or Pages whose posts you always want to see at the top of your News Feed, which can be useful for staying informed about a loved one, best friend, favorite brand, or your own business.
Facebook is constantly tweaking the News Feed. This article will adapt too. Here are all the News Feed change announcements so far:. More Relevant Ads — Fewer ads that other people hide, Fewer ads similar to ones people have already hidden. Higher Quality News — More links to high quality articles, Fewer links to meme photos, related articles to ones you clicked, highlighting stories with new comments. More Status Updates From Friends — More text status updates from friends, fewer text status updates from Pages, more link share stories from Pages, fewer text updates with embedded links from Pages.
Fewer Page posts that have already been shared by that Page, fewer spammy links that use inaccurate language or formatting to trick people into clicking. Focusing On Explicitly Shared Stories — More explicitly shared stories from third-party apps and fewer implicitly or automatically shared stories. Showing Better Videos — More videos people watch and watch for a long time, more videos to people who watch videos and fewer videos to people who skip videos. Reducing Promotional Page Posts — Fewer posts that solely push people to buy a product, install an app, enter a sweepstakes, or that reuse the exact same content from ads.
Minimizing Hoaxes — Fewer posts that people flag as hoaxes or delete after posting because they are scams or deliberately false news. Showing More Content From Friends More posts from friends instead of Pages, fewer stories about friends Liking or commenting on a post, more posts from the same sources for new users without much content in their News Feed.
The See First Feature — A new feature lets you choose friends or Pages whose stories you want to see first at the top of your News Feed. The Profile is where you can edit your About information, view your friends and photos, and manage your posts.
Facebook has undergone a few redesigns over the years, and this page has been called the "Wall" or the "Timeline" in the past. Other users may navigate to your Profile page to find out more about you, and you have the option of making your Profile page information available to anyone on Facebook to see or to keep your Profile visible only to your Facebook friends. Your News Feed and Profile page are where you'll likely spend the most time on Facebook.
The News Feed is about your friends and what they're doing, while your Profile page is about you and the information you're OK with sharing. Your News Feed page is a stream of continually updated information from your friends and any Groups or Facebook Pages you follow. What you see is unique to you because it centers around the people and organizations you're interested in.
You have some control over how your News Feed presents posts to you. You can prioritize certain posts, snooze people who may currently be annoying you, unfollow people, and reconnect with people you've previously unfollowed. Here's how to manage News Feed viewing options:. If you're using Facebook via a web browser on your computer, you'll access your account settings to control News Feed viewing options.
