Sick of a friend\u2019s non-stop vacation photos? Bored of hearing about some business Page\u2019s big launch? One of your groups won\u2019t shut up about their upcoming get-together? Now Facebook has a Snooze button that lets you temporarily unfollow friends, Pages, or Groups for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.<\/p>\n

The Snooze button could deter people from permanently unfollowing, unliking, or unfriending things on Facebook, while still giving them control over what they see. Facebook benefits from you maintaining a dense social network, whether for ad targeting, or just surfacing an important life update from a distant acquaintance. So now when you\u2019re annoyed with someone or something, you can solve the problem without severing the connection.<\/p>\n

TechCrunch spotted Snooze this morning on Facebook\u2019s desktop site in the US, and are awaiting comment from the company about the status of the feature. We\u2019ll update when we hear back.<\/p>\n

To Snooze someone, tap the drop0down arrow in the top right of someone\u2019s post. Now instead of just an unfollow option, there\u2019s \u201cUnfollow or Snooze\u201d. Tap that, and you can choose whether you want to Snooze someone for a day, a week, a month, or permanently unfollow them.<\/p>\n

Facebook has been trying to settle in on the best way to let you control the News Feed without being confusing. In 2012 it offered a \u201cSee Less\u201d<\/a> option on friends\u2019 profiles. But eventually Facebook found this was puzzling for users, since they\u2019d still see that person in their feed, so it wasn\u2019t clear if the option actually did anything. By 2014, Facebook had dropped \u201cSee Less\u201d in favor of a definitive \u201cUnfollow\u201d button<\/a> that let you stay friends but banish them from your feed.<\/p>\n

With Snooze, it\u2019s found a way to decrease the noise from a chatty person, group, or Page in a way that\u2019s obvious and intuitive, but doesn\u2019t prohibit Facebook from showing you their most important posts further down the line.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pages and Groups may benefit from Snooze, since it could reduce the chances of someone unliking or leaving them. But it should also inspire them not to overshare or spam, otherwise they could be put in time-out.<\/p>\n

Facebook already constantly modulates how much you see of someone based on implicit signals like if you Like, click, comment on, or share their posts. It will surely use Snoozing as a signal that it should show you less of someone when they\u2019re allowed to reappear. But if we\u2019re going to spend so much of our lives browsing the News Feed curated by Facebook\u2019s faceless algorithm, it\u2019s nice to see the company equip us humans with more than just binary controls.<\/p>\n
