5 FACEBOOK TRICKS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Do you sometimes go completely crazy from all those annoying notifications on Facebook? Do you also miss so many photos from your real friends? Do you want to take back control of your own FB page? Then stick around, this is for you.
5 tricks to make sure that Facebooking becomes a lot more enjoyable.
1. Do you also want your timeline in chronological order?
Facebook loves to push popular posts to the top of your feed, but for those who - like me - go completely bonkers from the incoherent rhythm on Facebook: you can turn this off. Click on ‘News Feed’ at the top left of your page. Then choose ‘Most Recent’ instead of ‘Top Stories’.
2. Want to see more photos from your friends?
Sometimes I missed beautiful pictures from friends that I actually would have liked to see. Well, not anymore. And you probably want that too. Click on ‘Edit Preferences’ on the left side of your screen. Then you can check friends, pages, and groups, which will then appear first on your page.
“Get lost Candy Crush Saga. You eat candies, you don't play with them”
3. Turn off the ‘seen’ ticks on Facebook chat?
Yep, that can be done too. Quite handy, because the pressure to respond immediately when you've peeked at Facebook at work is not cool either. Download the app ‘Unseen’ here. https://apps.facebook.com/unseen-app/
(by the way, it only works on your laptop in Google Chrome.)
4. Say goodbye forever to Candy Crush invitations?
No one gets happy from twenty game invitations. Get lost Candy Crush Saga. You eat candies, you don't play with them. Well, to make it disappear super quickly, go to your settings and then press block. How nice: you can block both app invitations and the apps themselves.
5. Also say bye bye to those ads on Facebook?
Protect yourself by not clicking on sites that scream vacation deals, heels, and vintage bags in the right sidebar. Just Google Timeline Cleaner, download that thing, and voilà: annoying (and very tempting) ads are a thing of the past.
Oh, and if you're already doing a big clean-up, read right away which 9 types you should immediately remove from Facebook.
