Why would one ignores one’s Facebook friend in the first place? This might be for privacy sake between closed friends, family or even work place.

There are ways one can totally ignore someone on Facebook which is either through unfriending or blocking. But, blocking or unfriending a family member, closed friend, boss at work or even spouse may not look so cool because the reaction will be brought home.

In this post, I have 3 smart ways to ignore someone on Facebook without them noticing. You don’t have to worry about blocking or unfriending them any longer. We only follow very simple steps.

How to ignore someone on Facebook without them noticing, no blocking

1. Unfollow your friend from your Newsfeed
   

   

   When you unfollow someone on Facebook, their posts won’t be visible on your Newsfeed again. This means that you will no longer their posts – status, photo and video uploads unless you directly visit their profile.

   With this, you don’t have be worried about whatever he/she posts on Facebook. To unfollow Facebook friend, open your friend’s profile page and choose Unfollow.

   You can find this feature on Facebook mobile app on the friend’s profile, tap on Following and choose Unfollow. For PC or MAC, Go to their Profile under Following and choose Unfollow.

2. Add them to restricted list
   

   Putting someone on the Restricted list means that you’re still friends, but that you only share your posts with them when you choose Public as the audience, or when you tag them in the post.

   For example, if you’re friends with your boss and you put them on your Restricted list, then post a photo and choose Friends as the audience, you aren’t sharing that photo with your boss, or anyone else on your Restricted list. However, if you tag your boss in the photo, or chose Public as the audience, they’ll be able to see the photo.
