- Suggested posts are the posts that appear on your timeline that you have not liked or shared.
- Suggested posts are also known as “suggested stories” or “recommended content”.
- Suggested posts are similar to advertisements, but they appear on your timeline instead of in a newspaper or magazine.
- Suggested posts are not the same as ads that appear on your browser or mobile device.
- It is possible to stop suggested posts from appearing on your timeline by following these simple instructions.
- Suggested posts can be annoying, so you may want to disable them completely if they’re getting in your way.

You can then delete it or block it from appearing again.

- Once you’re done, your suggested posts will be turned off and you won’t see them anymore on your timeline or on the news feed of other Facebook users.
What Happens When You Stop Recommended Content On Facebook?
If you stop recommended content on Facebook, your PAGE will no longer be recommended to friends and family. They will still be able to see your posts, but the content will no longer be included in their feed. This may not seem like a big deal at first, but it can have a significant impact on your reach and engagement. In addition, if you stop recommended content on Facebook, you won’t be able to get any new followers or promote your page through organic means.
Tips For Avoiding Suggested Posts On Facebook

Tips For Staying Safe On Facebook
- Do not let Facebook become your only source of news and information.
- Do not use Facebook as a way to vent or express yourself.
- Only use Facebook as a tool to keep in touch with family and friends, and to share things that you find interesting or useful with them.
- Use caution when commenting on someone else’s post (this is also known as “liking” or “sharing”). Keep your comments relevant and respectful, and avoid putting others down in any way.
- If you see content that you don’t like or agree with, do not share it or comment on it yourself; just skip over it instead (or block the person who posted it).
- If you are concerned about the privacy of a post, click on the privacy button at the bottom right of the post before sharing or liking it (this will allow you to choose whether people can see who shared/liked the post).
- If you see a post that you think is inappropriate, report it to Facebook.
- If you are receiving too many friend requests from people you don’t know and are concerned about your privacy, use the “request only friends” option (this will only let specific people send you friend requests).
- If someone posts something that upsets or offends you, and the person who posted the content does not respond or delete it, report it to Facebook instead of simply sharing or liking it yourself (this will help others learn about offensive or upsetting content).
Conclusion
If you’re like most people, you probably go through your day without even thinking about Facebook. But if you don’t like what you see, it’s easy to stop recommended content from appearing in your newsfeed. Look for recommended posts that are negative or that don’t align with your values. If you can’t find any posts that are negative, try to find posts that are only about how the post will help you or how it will save you time or money. If you still can’t stop recommended content from appearing, you can try to create your own content or post specific requests for feedback from your followers.
