Do you want to get rid of reels on Facebook? Reels launched in the mobile app, but you may still see reels if you use Facebook with a desktop browser. While there's no way to permanently hide all reels from Facebook, you can still request for fewer reels to show on your timeline, stop reels from autoplaying, and adjust your own reel visibility. You can also install a browser extension if you use Chrome or Opera to hide reels from your timeline. This wikiHow will show you how to hide and stop reels on Facebook using your iPhone, Android, or computer.

Things You Should Know

  • You won't be able to completely stop Reels from appearing, but you can decrease how often they show up on your timeline.
  • Click "•••" in the top-right corner of a reel and click "Hide".
  • To stop autoplay, go to "Settings" → "Videos" → "Autoplay videos (On)" → "Autoplay videos (Off)".
