How do I find my friends' posts in the Facebook app when the feed feels too crowded?
Just scroll down the main feed—your friends' posts will appear mixed with videos from pages and ads. If you want only friends' content, tap the 'Feeds' tab (the three-line menu) and select 'Favorites' or 'Friends' to filter out the noise.
Can I use Facebook Marketplace to sell items quickly, and how does it work?
Yes, Marketplace is great for fast sales—tap the shop icon at the bottom, then 'Sell' to list your item with photos and a price. The reviewer sold a coffee table in two days, so it's effective for local buyers.
Why does my Facebook app drain my Pixel 7's battery faster when scrolling videos?
Videos in the feed use more processing power and data, which can increase battery drain. To reduce this, lower video autoplay settings in 'Settings & Privacy' > 'Media' and close the app when not in use.
How do I stop Facebook from showing creepy ads based on things I talk about near my phone?
Go to 'Settings & Privacy' > 'Ad Preferences' and turn off 'Ads based on activity from partners' and 'Ads based on your activity on Meta technologies'. This limits targeted ads, though some may still appear based on your general browsing.
How does Facebook compare to other social apps like Instagram for staying in touch with family?
Facebook is better for family updates because it focuses on text posts, photos, and events, while Instagram is more visual and story-driven. The reviewer found Facebook ideal for seeing parents' dog photos and joining local groups, which Instagram lacks for community organizing.
