Facebook now allows users to prioritize who appears first in News Feed

Play favorites with News Feed

One of the top complaints about Facebook's News Feed: Other people's posts sometimes appear in a nonsensical order. Ugh, thanks mysterious FB algorithm. This always gives high-volume users anxiety — what if they missed something? Good news: The social network has introduced new settings that allow users to prioritize who they see first (available for the iOS app right now). Just look under "News Feed Preferences" in settings and pick your favorites. Is grandma in, or out?
