THOSE OF YOU who use Facebook regularly may have heard that it’s now offering users more control over their news feed.
It’s a small but handy change that will give you a little more control over some of the things that are prioritised in your news feed, or at the very least, see less of the people and pages that you feel are cluttering up your news feed.
For now, it appears that the setting is only on iPhone for now (desktop, Android, and Windows Phone users will have to wait a little while longer). If you’re on mobile, it’s a matter of going into the app’s settings and scrolling down to the bottom.
Desktop users can expect it to appear alongside the drop down menu found at the top right-hand corner of the site.
If you’re familiar with Twitter, then you will know how this is going to work. The most popular pages in your news feed, all of your friends, the pages that you like and the groups you have joined will be presented here.
How long it will take you to filter through them all will depend on how trigger happy you were with the like button, but if a person or page update is annoying you, this is the best way to prevent most of their updates from appearing without unfriending/unliking them.
Although if that isn’t to your liking, there are some other ways to catch those posts you might have missed.
The first is to turn your news feed into a chronological stream, which will become more unwieldy as everything you might have missed will be included, but ensures posts aren’t picked out for you.
The easiest way to do this is to go to the desktop site and on the left menu, click on the drop-down menu beside ‘News Feed’.
Alternatively, you could use the close friends list and pick your most important friends to appear on it, ensuring that they appear on your News Feed more.
The other method allows you to see posts you would have missed on the normal News Feed. The Missed Stories page will present to you what Facebook describes as “posts you might like but haven’t seen yet.”
This is also curated by the News Feed algorithm meaning it’s still picking out posts for you, but at the least, it will highlight anything that could be important.

And how much will church pay?
The church should pay the entire bill
I believe that the Religious have a strangle hold over the Health and School System; it is very unlikely that the Government will take legal action against their Landlords? As far as I know they still haven’t finished paying their agreed share from the 2002 Indemnity Deal to pay for Abuse in the Irish Industrial Schools
Surely the bill should be sent to the Vatican?
That’s an insult to these women. You’d be waiting for the Vatican to pay until kingdom come. Give them they’re money and let them get on with their lives.
Correction. State to pay €250,000.
The government gives 638 euros of our money to Africa every year. Where do it go ? Who gets it? They even saw fit to give 7 million euro to Libya. 250,000.? Insulting !
The Irish Psychiatric Profession should also apologise to Magdalene victims.
The Psychiatric profession colluded with the Catholic Church in incarcerating thousands of innocent Irish Women and Men for ” unacceptable, deviant behaviour” – ie. being a Single Mother or being a Homosexual in the Fifties and Sixties. Many lives were ruined by these guys ordering Lobotomies, Freezing Insulin Baths and Electric Shock Treatments on many healthy people.
When will the media scrutinise the numerous abuses by Consultant Psychiatrists ? We know of several cases involving these so called pillars of the Community locking innocent people up in return for large cash payments . They remain above the Law and when they get a diagnosis wrong, the unfortunate patient has no opportunity for redress. They intimidate and bully. Have any of these arrogant elitists ever apologised for the sins committed in the name of their professional research ?
We now know, thanks to great work, by the late Mary Rafferty that these abuses were/are still happening recently in Waterford and other Institutions. Doctor Dennis Lane O’ Kelly has been named in the excellent RTE documentary, ‘Behind the Walls’. Yet those who knew about this and other abuses are still employed by the HSE. Do these experts on all aspects of human nature really expect us to believe that they knew nothing about the sexual abuse of vulnerable people being instigated by one of their colleagues, Dr. Lane O’ Kelly ?
How much did the state give to the soldiers who were actually paid to do their work …..
That should read we give 638 million euro to Africa every or rather our government borrows and gives this huge amount on our behalf. Charity begins athome and 250,000 is a derisory sum
The catholic church should pay the bill. It sickens me that womens rights were violated in this way. Did the european union know this was going on? How did they get away with it
250,000 Given to this unheard of Centre, before the 3 Month audit of need they seem to think is required!! WHY??
On closer Scrutiny this Centre Does Not Exist??
Funding of Survivors Groups in Ireland has been very Controversial! Have they Learned NOTHING?
No doubt it will be London Based, as if there are only Survivors in London?
This is the Group that will receive the money http://www.irishsurvivorsuk.org.uk/
If this money is to paid immediately to a Project that does not exist?
For needs that haven’t been assessed yet?
I would like to know
“What Fund/Budget is this Money to be drawn from?”
HELP US MAGDALENES WHAT WITH A CUP OF TEA OR COFFEE ..I DONT THINK SO ITS A SHAM ..TO SUDDENLY CROP UP WITH NO HISTORY ITS A SUSPICIOUS ORGANISATION ..I FOR ONE WILL SKIP IT I CAN MAKE MY OWN TEA ..WHERE HAVE THOSE DO GOODERS BEEN WHEN SOME OF US LAY DYING FROM OVERDOSES AND ON LIFE SUPPORTS ..WHERE WERE THOSE DO GOODERS AND SO CALLED COUNCILLARS ..WHEN WE NEEDED THEM …I DONT WANT THEM NO THEY CAN SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUPS
can someone in the Irish Government pray tell just WHY ?? is that Woman in London getting another lot of funding £250,000 for a service THAT DOES NOT EXIST??? are they all insane
it is from the compansation that was supposed to be for the survivors, this Group in London and other so called Groups in the UK and Ireland surported by the irish State have been recieving Funding using survivors names saying they surport survivors and offer services to them ,(NOT ) those so called Groups are only interested in keeping themselves and their friends in their well paid JOB’s >While the real survivors have been IGNORED and BULLIED into SILENCE , they help survivors > Pig’s might Fly. It’s another CON
have your say
