    Facebook has come up with a new update called snooze button that helps people control their own News Feed, though it hasn t been launched completely. The feature can be accessed by some regions and devices, and might require one to update the smartphone app.

    Snooze option, which will appear next to unfollow button, will allow users to mute pages from their news feed for a temporary period. People can temporarily unfollow pages, friends, groups and events from their feed by accessing the snooze button which comes out when someone presses the three dots on the top right corner. It is below the hide post button.

    The button can currently mute or unfollow pages, friends and groups for either a whole day or week, and even the entire month. All unwanted posts from despicable identities can now be dealt with. Facebook told that it is currently testing the feature through limited users. Snooze button might be rolled out soon.

    The tech giant has decided to facilitate the people who don t actually want to unfriend, dislike, or leave a friend, page or group, respectively. Pages and groups will be benefited from the feature as it will not decrease their following on paper, but just impact traffic or click through rate.

    According to TechCrunch, Facebook reviews posts from pages, friends and groups on the basis of their likes, shares, and content engagement.

    The snooze button can empower people over their algorithm which is currently controlled by the company through several parameters.
