Snoozing is similar to the mute feature common across social media platforms. If you’ve snoozed someone on Facebook, you may wonder how to unsnooze them. To learn more about unsnoozing a person on Facebook, read this article to the end.
Overview of Unsnoozing Someone on Facebook
Snoozing is a Facebook feature that lets you manage your Facebook timeline. If someone posts rude, irritating or monotonous posts, you can snooze them instead of unfriending them. The Facebook snoozing timeline is automatically set at 30 days, after which the person’s post will reappear in your feeds. Unsnoozing, on the other hand, is the reverse action for preventing someone’s post from appearing in your feeds. If you snooze someone but don’t wish to wait for the entire thirty-day timeline, you can unsnooze them. You can also snooze groups and pages to prevent their posts from appearing in your timeline. Unsnoozing pages and groups works similarly to unsnoozing a profile. Besides preventing posts from appearing in your timeline, you can utilize snooze when someone or a particular page is spamming your feed. Suppose someone attended an event and is now sharing tens of photos of that event. In that case, you might only be seeing those event photos when you check your feed. In such a scenario, it’s best to snooze the person and later unsnooze them. The best thing about snoozing is that it doesn’t change any of the feed settings and doesn’t notify the person that you’ve snoozed them. Next, we explain the exact steps to unsnooze someone on Facebook.

More on Snoozing and Unsnoozing on Facebook
The snooze feature works on profiles, pages, and groups. You can block posts from people who aren’t your Facebook friends. Similarly, you can snooze a group you haven’t joined or a page you haven’t liked. The only requirement for snoozing is one of the pages or groups post appearing on your feed. If you’re wondering how a post from a group or page you don’t follow can show up in your feed, it happens when one of your friends shares it. After you snooze a page or group on Facebook, their name appears with an end snooze button under your feed preferences in the snooze section. Remember that the snoozing timeline is set at thirty days. After this timeline expires, Facebook will send you a notification asking you to continue or end the snooze. Snoozing is not a permanent option for limiting spam posts or dealing with online harassment posts. Snoozing only prevents the person’s post from appearing on your feed. Other Facebook users can still view the posts. If you’re dealing with a cyberbully, the best way to deal with them is to unfriend them and block their account. After blocking them, there’s no way any of their content can get to your timeline.
Summary
As you’ve learned from this article, unsnoozing someone on Facebook is pretty simple. Snoozing helps prevent a specific person’s post from appearing in your feeds for at least thirty days. After thirty days, Facebook will notify you and ask if you wish to continue or end the snoozing. The best thing about snoozing is that it’s anonymous. Facebook doesn’t notify the person, group, or page that you’ve snoozed them.
