1.How to hide a status update from an annoying friend
Of course, you love your dear friend, just not their annoying 24/7 status updates that are unfunny and basically a waste of your time. That’s fine. They don’t have to know you’ve just shut them down – Facebook allows users to hide status updates from certain people with a click of the button and they’ll never, ever know.
To get started:
- Log into your Facebook account
- Find the “What’s on your mind” dialogue box on the Facebook dashboard (the first page you see when you log into your account)
- Click on the padlock icon
- Find the dropdown menu and select “customize”
- Click “hide from” and select the appropriate friend
- Voila!
