How Do You Hide a Facebook Friend?

There are multiple ways to do it. First, you can scroll through your news feed and click on individual status updates to edit how often stuff sent by that particular person will get shown in your feed. You use the dropdown menu shown in the image above.

Or you can do the same thing by going to each friend's profile page, where you'll find an even more detailed menu.

Or you can create friends lists and make a setting for the whole list. You just create a new list, give it any name you want, and add people to it whose updates don't much interest you, then change the list settings.Facebook gives you a blank "acquaintances" list that can handily serve this purpose.
