I can't find the subscribers button to enable it. It's not on my profile - just subscriptions.
September 23, 2011 at 7:51 AM
I mean to disable it.

Hello there, you need to go to someone's profile to disable it you will not find it in your own profile until you press the subscribe button. Go to someone's profile you will able to find it out the people you have subscribed too. For example your friends.

i did what it said and still my friends can subscribe to me. i dont want ANYONE subscribing to me. how do i disable that feature?
September 23, 2011 at 11:34 PM
Hi there, thank you for replying back. Basically the subscription is same as news feeds. Your friends will always get notified your updates via news feeds. You need to change your privacy settings that only you can view certain information. On the other hand if you would turn of the subscription just turn off the subscription as i have explained above that will stop people so that none will able to subscribe you anymore and unsubscribe with everyone you are already subscribed to. I hope this will solve your problem. If it still didn't solve your problem please let me know. Thank you

September 24, 2011 at 7:26 AM
1st go to your profile > do not click in subscription button see there is another button called subscribers click on it from the left side menu under your profile picture then you will see another page just like the above picture in the left side you will see a button called Edit settings from there you will able to edit if it still didn't help you please let me know.

The subscriber's button is actually not there. That's what the user is trying to say. I have the same problem.
September 24, 2011 at 1:40 PM
ok then first click on subscription then you will see the subscriber button
September 25, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Hye.
I turned off my subscription. But when I view my my profile from friend's account, I see "subscribed" on it? Does that mean my friends can still get my newsfeed on the top right corner when I commented/liked anything?
One more, I wanna unsubscribe few friends updates. Now do I have to do it one by one? Thank You..
September 26, 2011 at 3:05 AM
Hello there, thank you for replying back. Your friends are already in your subscription so it means they can still view your news feeds. If you do not like to view them for some specific people you need to add privacy settings for that. Yes you can do it and save so whenever you update something won't be on their news feeds at all. So you will not need to set the privacy settings again and again. If you need help regarding to this issue please reply back i will help you how to save the privacy settings in facebook for specific people. Subscription is actually for public post something you posted for public's they will able to view it. Something you posted for friends only friends will able to view it those who have subscribed you. As facebook default settings all your friends are auto subscribed with you.
To your next question . as far as i know yes you have to do it one by one and i guess it will be easier to do just find them and unsubscribe them but yes i will look after this question and if i found any solution to do it all in all i will get back to you.
Thanks once again.

October 23, 2011 at 11:08 PM

November 11, 2011 at 7:47 PM
hello,can u plz tell me how to check the visitor of my profile?
November 13, 2011 at 1:12 PM
there is no such way to see who viewed your profile as facebook does not keep such logs in database. and those apps who said like see who can view your profile is fake and will not work and will spam your friends walls so do not allow such app
November 22, 2011 at 7:14 AM

November 22, 2011 at 12:50 PM

December 1, 2011 at 11:22 AM

December 1, 2011 at 4:44 PM
Yes it is possible to hide subscribers list here you go http://www.tipsglobe.com/2011/12/how-to-hide-facebook-subscribe-or.html
December 15, 2011 at 5:26 PM
I deon't have the "Subscribers" button. Is there any other way I could get to the page where I can edit the settings?
January 10, 2012 at 11:53 AM
Has anyone tested to see if posts still appear in friends' News Feeds at all if Subscriptions are turned off on your profile? For example, if I turn subscriptions off, will my posts no longer appear in any friend's News Feed? Or will Facebook just keep behaving as it has before this feature was added?
January 17, 2012 at 8:58 AM
Thanks for the article.
It solved my problem

Hello, ¨
"Yes it is possible to hide subscribers list here you go http://www.tipsglobe.com/2011/12/how-to-hide-facebook-subscribe-or.html"
Problem is, that I don't have "subscriptions - subscribers", but "subscriptions - Subscriptions"..In other words, I cant hide my subscribers tab by this method. How is that possible?
January 30, 2012 at 5:01 PM
first > turn off the subscribe so that people will not able to subscribe you...
second > delete the subscriber from your subscription list.
you are done!
Please let me know where you are facing the problem ? did you enabled Timeline ? if this let me know i will post a new method to turn off subscriber on Timeline.
February 6, 2012 at 3:32 PM
There's no "subscriber" option on for me.
Maybe because I have the Timeline?
February 7, 2012 at 10:06 AM
I activated time line, please post the other method to turn off subscribers

On your timeline where it says friends,maps etc. a button named subscribers is there(click on it) if not click the arrow at the end to extend...click (subscribers) this is where you will find the disable menu for subscribers

Hello! I have to say that I'm rather annoyed by the subscriptions. Especially the people to subscribe to block on the right side of my news feed. I have a dear friend that just subscribes to anything and now it shows me all the subscriptions he's got in the people to subscribe to. Now, I don't want to remove him as my friend, but I'm really annoyed by all his subscriptions being suggested on my News Feed! Is there a way to completely block the people to subscribe to section?
June 15, 2012 at 12:32 AM
i can turn off and completely removed SUBSCRIBERS but i can't remove SUBSCRIPTION , so bored to click subscription button and unsubscribe again always... so, can u please show the way to permanently removed the SUBSCRIPTION ??? please

August 30, 2012 at 9:50 AM
Could you please help me? I tried to add someone to my friends list, they didn't accept the request, but then I was automatically "subscribed" to their updates, which is annoying! I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to unsubscribe but there is just no way to unsubscribe, because I didn't "subscribe" to this person, I added as a friend, and that automatically turned into a subscription, and there's really no way I can find, so far, to unsubscribe! :( Please help! :(
