The snooze function on Facebook allows you to block a friends’ updates and posts from appearing on your feed for a period of 30 days – or unless you switch off the snooze before that.
A temporary alternative to muting or hiding their content from your Facebook feed, the snooze feature is quick and easy to activate. To switch it on, users simply need to click on the three dots icon next to one of their posts and select ‘Snooze for 30 Days’ from the pop up menu of options.
But how do you switch it off?
3 Steps to Switch off Snooze on a Facebook Friend
Before we dive into the process of switching off the snooze function that you’ve set on a Facebook friend, it’s worth noting that this is a temporary action and will be removed completely after 30 days.
What’s more, the benefit of snoozing someone is that they will never know that you’ve taken action to hide their content.
But if you do decide to switch off the snooze tool early, before the 30 days are over, simply follow these steps…
- Click on the menu button in the bottom right hand corner of your Facebook screen and select ‘Settings and Privacy’
- Select ‘Settings’ then ‘Content Preferences’ from the menu
- In the ‘Content Preferences’ menu, select ‘Snooze’
Once in the Snooze settings page, you will see a list of individuals, pages, and groups that you have snoozed. If you want to end the snooze on a user, simply click ‘End Snooze’ next to their name.
Underneath the list of existing snoozes, Facebook will show any users that are either new friends or that you have snoozed in the past. This is designed to give you quick access to any users or pages that you may wish to snooze again, with the quick and easy ‘Snooze’ button instantly removing their content from your feed for the 30 day period.
This is not just a quick process, but it is both harmless and temporary. We hope this helps and gives you all the information you need on snoozing and how to switch it both on and off on Facebook.
