Hide "People You May Know" on Facebook
If you are active on Facebook, suggestions from "people you may know" will be made to you again and again. Unfortunately, you can only hide them indirectly.
The social network Facebook lives from the fact that you network with other people and share messages, photos, videos and status reports with each other. Many friends you will find through personal contact and the question "Are you also on Facebook?" You can also start a name search. In addition, Facebook makes suggestions and gives you "people you may know".
"People You May Know" doesn't appear everywhere
The "people you may know" can usually only be found under the menu item "friend requests" and under "find friends". You have to click on both options directly. The right margin of the timeline and the homepage no longer uses Facebook for displaying friends, but for advertising.
- Instead of strangers' faces to send friend requests to, you'll see your friends and be notified of what they're interested in. This is to encourage you to share the interest and click on the ad. This is how Facebook makes money.
- Advertising can only be suppressed with the appropriate software. It is laborious to use because Facebook is constantly making changes. which entail adjustment adjustments.
Fading out is only possible with great effort
- There is the option of running the program for your internet browser AdBlock Plus to download. It's a small tool that you can use to block ads. In theory, you can use it to block the advertising and thus the people shown. However, general instructions cannot be given, as the operators of the Facebook page naturally want to prevent the advertising from being blocked.
- The themes of the pages are therefore constantly changing, and you will often find that the "people you may know" reappear despite the settings made.
- If there are people who for personal reasons you do not want to appear in the lists, you can prevent this by blocking them. This is useful for exes or other people who bring back negative memories in you. Visit that profile the person and click on the dial next to the "Send message" field. A menu opens. Click on "report / block" and confirm your entry. You can no longer see the person's profile and vice versa. From now on, this person will no longer be displayed in the lists.
In the social network Facebook you have the possibility with different friends ...
Of course, this approach is only suitable for a few people who you do not want to be reminded of. Otherwise, you should try to accept that Facebook is a social network whose goal is to connect people with each other. The contact suggestions are simply part of it.
