How to remove Facebook close friends

Facebook close friends, it’s a feature that has been around since mid 2011, yet it’s a feature that a lot of people don’t talk too much about.  For those of you who want an easier way to view updates from a select group of friends, with the added bonus that you get notified when they post a new update, then Facebook close friends is for you.  Personally, I find “close friends” to be extremely valuable because it allows me the opportunity to easily view updates from my favorite people on both the desktop and mobile versions of Facebook – and get notified when they’ve posted new updates.  So after you’ve built up your list of close friends on Facebook, how do you remove them? If you want to remove Facebook close friends from your list, there are four ways that you can go about doing this.

While there are a number of ways to remove Facebook close friends, I really wish they wouldn’t have hidden this feature. If you’re someone who has built up a large list of close friends, you can spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to remove friends. Overall, I would like to see the ability to have different lists of close friends.  This way I can easily sort updates from important people in my news feed, with the added bonus of being notified when they post new updates. I’ll keep dreaming though!
