If your relationship status with the social media giant reads “It’s complicated”, Stuff is here to help you spruce things up with a whole load of tips for managing your feed.
THE BASICS
Find your favourites
Facebook shows what it thinks you should see in your feed. It’s often wrong. Bring back sanity by switching posts to reverse chronological order (click Most Recent under News Feed on desktop or in the hamburger menu on mobile). Fine-tune what you get by using News Feed > Edit Preferences on desktop, or News Feed Preferences on mobile
Get some peace
You have various ways to deal with annoying people. From a post, use the down-facing arrow (it’s an ellipsis on iOS) and snooze that person for 30 days – or unfollow them. Beyond that, you can head to their profile and unfriend them or go nuclear by choosing Block from the ‘…’ menu.
Save stories for later
If a post appears on your feed that needs more investigation than you can manage when shuffling towards a Clicks checkout, select Save from the post’s menu (the down arrow or ellipsis). Posts are listed in reverse chronological order and can be accessed from the sidebar on desktop, and from the hamburger menu on mobile.

Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2)
We’ve been wearing this Garmin for four months. It’s a huge, but hugely impressive, all-action premium smartwatch.
THE BEST IS SWEAT TO COME
Getting out and exercising in the opening months of the year can feel bleak, but you're not on your own: we've groaned and grunted on the latest training gear to help you achieve the fitness results you're looking for
SMART SPEAKER OF THE YEAR - SONOS MOVE 2
Sonos might not be the first name that springs to mind when you think of smart speakers, but with not one but two voice assistants on board - Amazon's Alexa and Sonos's own anonymous helper - there's no doubting the Move 2's built-in brain power.
ELECTRIC CAR OF THE YEAR - VOLVO C40 RECHARGE
The first Volvo in SA that was only available in an EV format, this crossover balances in-car features with its all-electric nature and delivers a pleasing meld of the power you'd expect from a car that costs over a million and range that makes filling a gas tank seem like the relic of a past left forgotten.
DRONE / ACTION CAM OF THE YEAR INSTA360 GO 3
If the goal of an action camera is to be as lightweight and portable as possible (all the better to be mounted on your bike, head, body, surfboard or big toe), then the tiny Insta360 Go 3 is the best one around.
CAMERA OF THE YEAR FUJIFILM X-T5
Smartphone cameras may be improving all the time, but they still have nothing on a tool built specifically for the job. And in a year of excellent camera releases, this all-rounder stood out for us.
IN-EAR HEADPHONES OF THE YEAR SONY WF-1000XM5
For several product generations now, Sony has hogged the top of the tree when it comes to active noise-cancelling true wireless headphones.
