Facebook rolls out new tools that aim to mend broken hearts. 

Heart breaks in the era of online networking can be unpleasant. Facebook is trying another element that will facilitate the pain, without constraining you to unfriend exes or erase all your past posts. 

The new "Take A Break" choice appears when you make the breakup Facebook official. After you change a relationship status, you'll be given the choice to constrain what you see about your ex and what they can see about you. 

In the event that you pick to "see less" of your previous partner, their notifications will no more show up in the news feed and you won't get updates from Facebook to tag him or her in a photograph.

The settings go both ways. You can likewise hide your own particular updates. With this alternative, your ex just sees new posts he or she is tagged in, or things posted openly or imparted to common companions. 'mutual friends'.

“This work is part of our ongoing effort to develop resources for people who may be going through difficult moments in their lives,” said Facebook in a blog post.

Well, it doesn't quite match with the peace you derive from scorching old letters. It's Facebook's way of saying, 'Move On'. The feature is being tested in the U.S., but will eventually be rolled out to the rest of the world.
