Here's How to Hide Facebook Ads in Your News Feed

Follow this guide to hide a sponsored post on your News Feed

While users may be unable to escape all advertising on Facebook, the social network does allow users to hide suggested posts, or ads, from their News Feeds. Specifically, users can hide individual ads, and they can even tell Facebook to stop showing ads from specific businesses or organizations.

If you’ve yet to try this feature yourself, here’s how to get started.

Step 1: Tap the “v” button on the suggested post you wish to hide. Note: We’ve blurred the content contained in this ad.

Step 2: Tap “Hide Ad.”
