10 problems, common Facebook errors and how to fix them

Some users encounter some problems with Facebook, so this article will show how to fix these problems.

1. Cancel follow up friends

Probably among us who have met Facebook users like this:

1. Post writers have too many political factors.
2. People who don't know how to use Facebook and post meaningless articles every day.
3. A friend took too many pictures of their pets.
4. Or one person all day complaining, complaining on Facebook social network.

Situations like these still happen often, but you don't want to make friends with these people to avoid emotional hurt, but you can't tolerate their posts. The solution here is to cancel tracking, you will no longer see their updates but still be friends.

To unfollow someone, just visit their profile page. On the right side of the cover image, you will see the Following box, click on it and select Unfollow [Name] . Now you will not have to endure their posts but still be friends and can visit their timeline at any time if you want to check their situation recently.

2. Prioritize the posts of important friends

Contrary to the above situation, if there is a friend you do not want to miss any of their posts to view their updates at all times. Facebook's ever-changing algorithms can prevent you from viewing specific friends' updates. To fix this, Facebook users can specify their best friends and view their posts at the top of the message board every time they visit the site.

Visit your friend's personal page, click the Following box , but this time choose See First . Now Facebook will always display those updates right at the top of the message board. In addition, you can receive notifications every time they post a new post by visiting their profile page and then clicking on the Friend box, select Get Notifications in the drop down menu.

You can also add that person to the Close Friend group to automatically receive notifications when they write articles and can share private posts with the Close Friends group.

3. Block Facebook from displaying ads according to user preferences

Facebook earns unimaginable amounts of advertising, so it spends a lot of time bringing users relevant applications and hoping to get interactivity. By default, Facebook tracks users and uses browsing habits to deliver the best ads.
