Unhide application feeds – Facebook

Author: indigoanalysis | Filed under: For You, Soial Media, The WWW, Tips n Tricks

I used to hate those millions of Farmville and Mafia war’s feed on my Facebook feed. I blocked them, they got added to the blocked app list. But trust me when you actually start playing these you have hard time surviving without those feeds. Now when I want to enable them i find no option to do it. Facebook changed its interface recently just after the “birthday”. Everytime Facebook changes its look, its like “you better devote some time to find all those misplaced areas”. I did that. I found where the applications can be added to the feed again.

The trick is to move to “Top news” first. The most used “most recent” page doesn’t let you do it.

  • Go to Top News link on the top of your feeds.
  • Now navigate to the end of the page and find “Edit Options”
  • Go to the “applications” tab in the floating box.
  • Click on the “add to news feed” button. You are done.

The catch here is that you’d kill yourself from frustration after not finding any such options under the “Most Recent” page. True that you never go to the “Top News” page. But for this you’ll have to go. There is no other way on the present Facebook interface to unhide applications from your news feed.

P.S. You also find blocked pages there.

    What if I have a lot of Mafia friends but I only want to get their updates on Mafia Wars and not all the other crap they post? How do I block them without blocking their updates with a specific app?

    Thanks, I was going mad trying to find it under Most recent, the Facebook help center left out that one vital step.
  • Nice article, I was looking for this because I need to do the same in my Facebook.
