It is a
no-brainer that a number of Facebook users want to hide Facebook ads whenever
they access their accounts, and it appears that the social network itself is
giving its members the option to do just this.
Facebook has
reportedly confirmed that it will allow mobile users to hide advertisements in
their respective news feeds. These ads include Facebook Pages that feature
links or images, and will be available on Android, iOS and the mobile Web. A
representative from the company revealed that the feature went live around six
months ago. Users will simply click on the “x button to hide Facebook ads.
Aside from
being able to hide Facebook ads, a number of other options may also be released
by the company. The “x” button aimed at ads that induce users to install apps
or ads that are displayed whenever a page is “liked” by Facebook friends is
expected to be released by the company.
The features
will initially be released for the iOS, while the Android version will not be far
behind. The feature will give users more
control over the content displayed on their accounts. It will also give
advertisers the opportunity to reach their intended target market. Getting the
target market is essential on Facebook, which makes the feature useful for the
social network itself. The ability to hide Facebook ads will bring down the
number of non-essential audience of the ads themselves by around 15 percent,
Facebook revealed.
