How do I turn off “Suggested for You” on Facebook?

Unfortunately, you can’t completely turn off or remove “Suggested for You” posts on Facebook. These recommendations are built into Facebook’s algorithm, which analyzes your interactions — likes, comments, and time spent on content — to suggest similar posts and keep you on the platform longer, boosting ad revenue. While you can reduce these suggestions by hiding or snoozing posts , or unfollowing pages, they will still appear due to the platform’s engagement model. For more on managing these posts, check out our guide on customizing your feed.

Why is everything on Facebook suggested for you?

Everything on Facebook is suggested because the platform’s algorithm aims to keep you engaged by showing content it predicts will interest you. It uses data from your likes, comments, and shares to recommend similar posts, refining suggestions based on your behavior. This approach keeps you on the platform longer, increasing ad revenue for Meta, Facebook’s parent company. To reduce these suggestions, you can adjust your preferences or unfollow certain pages , but Facebook’s algorithm will ultimately still recommend content. The only way to avoid this entirely is to delete your Facebook account and stop using any Meta products, which include Instagram, Facebook, and Facebook Messenger.

Why is my Facebook all ads and no friends’ posts?

If your Facebook feed is full of ads, it’s because the algorithm prioritizes engagement, often favoring sponsored content. The more you interact with certain types of posts, the more similar content — including ads — will appear. To see more posts from friends and family, adjust your feed preferences and unfollow pages that post excessively. While this won’t completely remove ads, it can help prioritize content from people you care about. For help with these settings, check our steps on customizing your feed .
