6. Tap Friends below their name.
7. Select Unfriend.
You're done. The Notifications and Friends buttons on that person's page will turn into a single Add Friend button. Now that contact won't see your check-ins unless they go to a specific location's page. To make sure they don't see you in the "Here Now" section of pages owned by specific locations, go into your account settings and uncheck the box that says "Include me in the public list of people who are currently checked in at a venue."
