    How do I control what I see in my news feed?

    Sort stories

    Use the Sort menu in the top right of your news feed to choose which stories you see first. Click Most Recent to see stories in the order they were posted, or click Top Stories to see the most interesting stories at the top of your news feed.

    Filter by friend lists

    Click one of your lists on the left side of your home page to see stories just from the people on that list.

    Manage the updates you're subscribed to

    Hover over the Friends button at the top of a friend's timeline and select Show in News Feed to turn their updates on or off.

    Hide a person or a type of story (ex: quizzes or games)

    -Hover over the top-right menu of a story, click the drop-down menu and choose what you'd like to hide:

    -Hide story will remove the story you're looking at from your news feed

    -Hide all by and Unsubscribe from will remove the story you're looking at from your news feed, as well as all future news feed stories from a person, Page, group, event or app

    -Report story or spam will remove the story you're looking at from your news feed and help keep your news feed clear of stories like it in the future

    -If you accidentally hide something you want to see, click the Unhide link.

    Unhide stories from a person, Page, group, event or app

    -From your home page, hover over news feed in the left sidebar menu.

    -Click the pencil icon that appears to the left.

    -A list of people, apps, Pages, and groups you’ve hidden or unsubscribed from will appear in a pop-up box. Click the X next to each one you'd like to remove from this list. Removing someone or something from your list of hidden stories means those stories can appear in your news feed again.

    -Click Save.

    First,go to a friend's profile and click the "friends" button on the right side of the profile,and then click on "settings". Then you will see the options, "how many updates" and "what types of updates".Choose the sort of updates you wish to get from that friend. Untick the stuff you don't want to see on your news feed and tick the stuff you want to see. From the "what types of updates" option,untick "comments and likes" and then you won't see what pictures your friends like or comment on,anymore.
