#Customize Your Facebook News Feed

The News Feed has most of the content and information on Facebook. With a few customizations, we can make sure that we see the most relevant and important post.

This lets you select whose posts would always be on the top of your News Feed. You can pick up to 30 people or Pages to see first.

To select which posts you want to see first in your news feed, click the arrow in the upper-right corner of the page and choose News Feed Preferences.
