Facebook keeps adding new features to its platform to improve its functionality towards privacy. Facebook recently released its feature for the mental peace of its users. The previous year they introduced a new quiet mode to help users limit their time in social media networks. The new “Take a break” feature lets you mute a person on your friend list. It works similar to Instagram’s restrict mode. Now the question is what is Facebook’s take a break feature and how to use it?

When you take a break from a person, the person doesn’t get to know about it. After enabling this feature for someone, you will not be able to see their posts on your Feed and vice versa. You will be untagged from an individual’s post and if one has posted anything on each other’s timeline, it will be deleted. Here is how to use it.
