What is Snoozing on Facebook?

Snoozing on Facebook allows you to temporarily hide content from a particular profile, page, or group on your News Feed. When you snooze someone, their posts won't appear for 30 days. After this period, the posts will reappear unless you decide to snooze them again. If you wish to continue not seeing posts from this user, it might be time to consider blocking.

Why People Snooze Others on Facebook

  • Taking a Break: Snoozing provides relief from the constant stream of posts from friends or family members who excessively share details of their lives.
  • Avoiding Irrelevant Content: As your Facebook following expands, your News Feed can become cluttered with content unrelated to your interests. Snoozing helps keep your feed personalized.
  • Avoiding Spoilers: For users active in communities discussing TV shows, books, or movies, snoozing specific friends or groups can help avoid spoilers. (Think Avengers: Endgame or Game of Thrones.)
