Facebook is now reportedly asking users why they have hidden particular content from their news feed. Currently, if a user unsubscribes to a post or hides a particular content source, he/she gets lesser content related to that. The social networking giant has however tweaked this option in what is believed to help the company understand reasons why users are hiding the content.

Facebook's Product Manager for Ads Fidji Simo adds the move will help the company easily determine if any content was offensive or uninteresting from the news feed. The new options will be available for all types of feed posts, including ads and sponsored stories.

Separately, Facebook briefly tested a new feature that prompts users to sign up for notifications when they like a Page. Spotted by Inside Facebook, the feature provides users options “get notifications” or “not now”. Notifications can be turned on later by clicking on the Like button.
