What Happens If You Unfollow Someone on Facebook?

When you unfollow someone on Facebook, you decide not to see their posts and updates on your News feed. You can still be friends but won't see as much of their posts. Unfollowing a group or page works the same way - you're still connected, but their updates will keep your feed clutter-free.

Unfollow, But Stay Connected! 

Unfollowing people and pages will help you declutter your feed on Facebook, but this will keep you connected. If you are someone who has many friends but feels annoyed when you find your feed full, then you must unfollow some of them.

Remember, unfollowing them will help you take a tour of your friend list and people’s activities. Choose people you connect with wisely.
