How to Remove People from 'See First' on Your Facebook Feed

Managing your Facebook feed and ensuring that the content you see is tailored to your interests can be quite a task. One useful feature on Facebook is the ability to choose which friends or pages you wish to see at the top of your news feed. This feature, known as 'See First,' allows you to prioritize certain individuals. Conversely, removing people from this list is also straightforward. Below, we'll guide you through the process of removing individuals from your 'See First' list on both the Facebook app and the website.

Step-by-Step Guide to Removing People from 'See First'

On the Facebook Website

Log in to Your Facebook Account: Open your preferred web browser and log into your Facebook account. Make sure you are using the Facebook website rather than the app for this process. Access Your Profile Page: Click on your profile picture or name at the top right corner of the page to go to your profile page. Access 'See First' Settings: On the left-hand navigation menu, click on the three vertical dots (... Edit 'See First' Settings: Next, tap on 'Edit See First Settings.' Here, you will find a list of the people and pages you have chosen to see 'first' in your feed. Remove Desired Individuals: Look for the names of the individuals or pages you want to remove from your 'See First' list. Uncheck or remove them from this list. Save Changes: Once you have made your changes, click the 'Save' or 'Apply' button to save your new settings.

On the Facebook App

Log in to Your Facebook Account: Open the Facebook app on your mobile device and log into your account. Access Your Profile: On the home screen, tap on your profile picture or name to access your profile page. Manage Favorites: Tap on the three horizontal lines (... ) to open the menu. From there, select 'Manage Friends.' Delete from 'See First' List: Look for the 'See First' section in the navigation menu. Remove the names of individuals or pages you no longer wish to see first. Save Changes: Tap 'Save' to confirm your changes.

Alternative Methods

If you prefer a more manual approach, you can also go to your friends list and selectively unfollow or delete them from the 'See First' list.

Alternatively, if you want to remove people from your 'See First' list without these direct options, you can take the following steps:

Click on a person's name to go to their profile. Uncheck the 'See First' option if it is available.

Go to the friend's page and look for the 'more' or '...' option under their profile picture. Click on it to see more options including 'Unfriend' or 'Block.' If blocking, the person will no longer show up in your feed and cannot contact you or view your profile.

If you simply want to reduce their visibility without removing them entirely, you can unfriend them. They will still be following you but will not appear in your friends list or 'See First' feed.

To further reduce their visibility, you can delete their posts from your feed. When you view their posts, an option to 'see less' from this person will appear. Use this to control how much of their content you see.

Conclusion

Managing your Facebook feed can be quite customizable, and the 'See First' feature allows you to prioritize content. However, it's equally important to know how to remove individuals from this list to ensure your feed stays relevant and enjoyable. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily adjust your 'See First' list to better suit your preferences.
