How to Remove Suggested Pages on Facebook

You can’t fully remove suggested pages on Facebook, but you can reduce them and adjust your feed to match your interests. Follow these steps to minimize unwanted suggestions.

  1. Hide Unwanted Posts

Step 1: Find a suggested page post that doesn't interest you.

Step 2: Click the three dots (•••) in the top right corner of the post.

Step 3: Choose "Hide Post."

This action signals to Facebook that you're not interested in similar content.

  1. Adjust News Feed Preferences

Step 1: Go to Settings & Privacy and Click on "Settings”. From the settings menu, look for "Feed" and select it.

Step 2: Use "Unfollow people to hide their posts" or adjust your "Favorites" to reduce unwanted suggestions.

  1. Limit Ad Targeting

Step 1: Go to your Facebook settings and click on "Ads Preferences."

Step 2: Review and adjust your ad preferences to limit the data Facebook can use for targeted ads and suggestions.

  1. Unfollow Pages

If you've liked a page but no longer want to see its content, you can unfollow it.

Visit the page, click "Liked" and select "Unfollow."

  1. Use the Snooze Feature

Temporarily hide posts you don't want to see by using the snooze feature.

Click on the three dots (•••) in the top right corner of the post and select "Snooze."

These steps can help reduce suggested pages, but you may still encounter them occasionally as Facebook's algorithm continues to evolve.

By following these tips, you can tailor your Facebook feed to be more in line with your interests and preferences.
