Facebook is testing ways to help people manage how they interact with former partners. A prompt to use the tools will appear when someone changes their relationship status. The tools provide options to:
- See less of a former partner’s name and profile picture around Facebook without having to unfriend or block them (similar to a Twitter mute option)
- Hide your own posts from your ex
- Untag yourself from previous posts linked to your ex
The tools are currently being tested in the US.
For more information, including screenshots of the options, see the Facebook blog.
