This document provides instructions for changing your Facebook relationship status without notifying friends. It explains that by default, Facebook will alert all friends if you change your status from a relationship to single. However, it outlines steps to make the change more privately by selecting the "Only Me" privacy option for your relationship status and box. This allows the status to be changed without notifications to friends on their News Feeds. It also describes how to remove the status update from your Timeline if accidentally broadcast.
