Hide Your Facebook Friends From Everyone

On the Edit privacy page, click on the checkbox next to “Posts from this account will be public.“Click on Save changes. ..

In the pop-up window, click on the down arrow icon in the upper-right corner. There you’ll get different options for “Who can see your friends list“. Choose Only me and that will restrict people from seeing others on your friends list.

After clicking “Done,” you will be redirected to a confirmation page. If you do not want to make any changes, click Cancel. ..

This will hide your Facebook friends list from anyone on the site. Only your mutual friends will be visible.

To control who sees your profile information, you can either set your profile to “Only Me” or have your friends list be public. However, even if your friends list is set to “Only Me,” people will still see that you’re friends on their profiles. ..

Hide One Facebook Friend From Another

If you want to keep your Facebook friends hidden from absolutely everyone, there’s a different path to take.

Facebook is currently not able to prevent two people from seeing each other while still being able to see all of your other friends. The only way to get it done is to completely deny those two individuals access to your Facebook friends.

  1. Type the friend’s name into the Facebook search bar and press enter.
  2. Click on the “hide from this person” link under their profile picture.
  3. Enter your desired information into the " hide from this person” fields and click on the “submit” button.

In the Custom privacy window, click the down arrow icon again and choose “Edit.” In the new window, select “Webcam.” In the next field, enter your webcam’s name. Click OK to close the Custom privacy window.

To prevent your Facebook friends from seeing each other, go to the Custom privacy window and type in the names of both of your friends. You can also just type one name in there if it’s just one person that you want to prevent from seeing your Facebook friends. ..

You can take a different route if you want to avoid getting into trouble.

Tap on the down arrow, and choose Friends except… to add people you do not want to be friends with.

I want to prevent my friend from seeing my Facebook friends.

In both scenarios, you will prevent those specific people from accessing your friends list. Except for them, everyone else will be able to see your friends on Facebook.

To keep your Facebook updates private, you can adjust your privacy settings. You can also hide your profile from specific friends by disabling their access to your profile. Or you can disable your online status so that people only see the posts you make on Facebook in person. ..
