How do I hide Facebook app updates in my Live Feed?

There is an alternative, and perhaps easier way to hide App updates.

When you're looking at your Facebook 'home' page, in the left most column you will see a list of items (News feed, Status updates, Notes, etc.). Hit the 'more' link at the bottom and the entire list will show. This also adds little bars to the right of each entry. You can then click on these bars and move them items around. By dragging Status updates to the top you'll only see your friends status updates on your home page.

This does also hide things like photo updates however so it's handy to move that to position two so you can manually check it from time to time.

For me this was a much simpler solution than having to hit hide for all the various apps that my friends use. Hope it helps!

If you are a Google Chrome/Chromium user you can get an extension that will block all the application postings for you. You can find the extension at the Google extension gallery.

The extension has also a very simple to use whitelist so you can exclude the applications you like from being blocked by the extension. That's cool, isn't it? ;)

The link to the extension is https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/lbddjacfldhncjdlnmhpajcdfhmdogik

I don't know why it's been lost in my previous comment.

i know how to hide people update I don't want to see but how do i hide my own update...update as in if i'm becoming friends with ABC person or if i comment on my friends wall or if i joined the group...i can see from setting i can click on "posted by me" & changed it but every times i changed them to "only me" it blocked people from seeing my wall... there are people i don't mind them seeing my wall but i don't want them to see groups or friends i added on.. i can delete from my profile page what about newsfeed page?

But what if you play a game like Family Feud for example and do not what the app posting every single move I make? If I comment in the discussion board, it announces it on my profile page AND posts a link to it! If I block the app, I can no longer play it!

i stumbled upon this post while looking to hide farmville, for the same reason you mentioned here.
however, i don't have the hide button any more. i just have an 'x' instead. all i have the option to do is hide that person altogether or report as spam.
any ideas?
thank you,
