Sometimes, people are really annoying on social media. And when they're consistently irritating, you might just want to stop seeing their posts completely. But going as far as to Unfriend them may seem too harsh. If that's the case, you can always Unfollow them, which means they stay on your Friends list, but you just don't have to see their updates in your News Feed — and they won't ever know.

To Unfollow someone, you can tap the three horizontal dots to the right of their post to access the menu. Here, you'll see "Unfollow" in the list. Tap this and you won't have to see their new posts any longer.

If adding someone to your Unfollow list seems too dramatic for you, you could always just Snooze them. By using the Snooze feature, you can take someone's posts off your timeline for a certain amount of time — and then they automatically reappear afterward. The Snooze feature is in the same drop-down menu as Unfollow. You can even adjust how long you want to snooze someone for. Whether it's a day, a week, or a month, you can control when you see their posts again.

Maybe you can't decide between Unfollowing or Snoozing someone and you just need a balanced, in-between option. Well, luckily Facebook has that, too. The app gives you the ability to "See Fewer Posts" from someone. To do this, you just have to tap Hide Post in the menu of the post. Without you having to adjust anything else, Facebook will take in that data and ensure that you don't see as many posts similar to the one you hid.

If you've already Unfollowed someone but miss their presence on your News Feed, you always have the option to Reconnect with them (or Follow them again) without them ever knowing. To do this, go to your News Feed Preferences. Tap on the menu tab on your Facebook app, aka the three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other. From here, scroll down to your Settings, and then scroll all the way down to News Feed Settings. Under this, you can tap News Feed Preferences. Then, tap Reconnect with people you unfollowed. This will show you a menu of everyone you've unfollowed and by simply tapping on their photo, you can Follow them once again.

Just like Instagram, Facebook lets you set a Close Friends list. This list helps you post things that only certain people see and also get notifications when people closest to you post. To add someone to your Close Friends list, go to their Facebook Profile and menu icon next to their name. Then, tap on the Friends option and then hit Edit Friends List. Select Close Friends and voila — they'll officially be added to your Close Friends list. They won't know if they've been added, so you can add anyone you want to keep tabs on without feeling creepy.

There might be some people on Facebook that you'd prefer to prioritize. Whether it's a best friend, cousin, or a crush, or even your favorite TV network, you might just want to put them to the top of your News Feed. Luckily, the app allows you to Prioritize Who To See First. You can do this by going into your News Feed Preferences, tapping Prioritize Who To See First, and then tapping accounts you want to add to this setting. You won't get a notification like you would with a Close Friends list, but you will be able to see posts from these people as soon as you open up Facebook.
