Maintaining privacy on social media platforms is essential, especially when it comes to your friends list. You may want to control who has access to this information and who doesn't. Facebook provides several privacy settings, and here's how you can adjust who can see your Friends section:
Accessing the Settings: First, click on your profile picture located in the top right corner of the Facebook page.
Navigating to Privacy Settings: From the dropdown menu, select "Settings & privacy" and then click on "Settings."
Selecting the Privacy Option: In the left column of the Settings page, find and click on the "Privacy" option.
Adjusting Your Friends List Visibility: Look for the setting "Who can see your friends list?" and then click "Edit" on the far right.
Choose Your Preferred Audience: Select the desired audience group (such as "Friends") to whom you wish to grant access to your friends list.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- The control over your friends list visibility applies specifically to your own profile. It's important to note that your friends also have their own privacy settings.
- If your friends have their friends list set to "Public," anyone can view that you're friends with them, regardless of your privacy settings.
- Additionally, if people can see your friendship status on someone else's profile, they will also be able to see it in their Feed, Search, and other locations on Facebook.
- It's worth mentioning that visitors to your profile may see mutual friends listed on your Facebook profile.
