Hide an Application from Your Facebook News Feed

Friday, October 9, 2009

My Facebook news feed is full of updates from the games my friends are playing. How can I get rid of all these notices?

You can hide a game or application from your Facebook news feed with the “Hide Application” option. Find one of these annoying notifications in your newsfeed and look for the light gray “Hide” link in the top right corner of the status update. The pull-down menu will have an option to hide that application — click it.

In the screenshot above, you can see that this notification from the game Farmville contains an option to “Hide Farmville”. Once you click the “Hide (Application Name)” button, you’ll see a confirmation stating that you’ll no longer see messages from that application in your news feed.
