Facebook is indeed a great social networking platform out there. Billions of users right now use it. Facebook is a platform that allows you to exchange text messages, make voice and video calls, send file attachments, and more.

Over the years, the platform has improved a lot. If you have been using it for a while, you might know that the platform allows you to unfriend or block friends. If you block someone on Facebook, both users can’t connect with each other.

Let’s admit; there are times when we don’t want to block someone but want to see less of them. For those users, Facebook introduced a new feature known as ‘Take a Break.’
