Who can see your friends list on Facebook? Everyone ? No one ? Some friends and not others? The choice is yours, and in just a few minutes, by adjusting a parameter in your profile on the social network.
By default, Facebook displays a list of all your friends to those who have access to your profile. However, like what happens in real life, you have not all met them in the same way: they do not necessarily know each other, and perhaps you do not want they meet on your profile – especially if some are angry with each other… – or even that each of them knows who the others are. Or worse, that people totally outside your entourage, real or virtual, interfere in your private life by trying to find out who you are dating. Don’t panic though: whether with the Web version or the mobile application, you can quickly and easily choose who sees who and who knows what… All you have to do is adjust a privacy setting on your Facebook profile.
It only takes a few clicks to select the level of confidentiality for his list of friends.
► With your usual web browser, go to the Facebook site and log in to your account.
► At the top left of the homepage, click on your identity (last name and first name).
► On the next page, in the top menu (below profile and cover photos), click on the tab Friends.
► Then, in the area Friendson the right of To meet friendsclick on the three horizontal dotsthen on Change privacy.
► In the box that appears, click to the right of Friends list, on the small rectangle indicating the degree of confidentiality. You just have to choose between Audience (everyone on or off Facebook), Friends (your friends on Facebook), Friends except… (do not show to some friends), Specific Friends (show only certain friends), or Only me (your list will be visible to you only).
Again, a few simple manipulations are enough to hide all or part of his list of friends.
► On your mobile, launch the Facebook application and log in if you are not already…
► Go to your profile by pressing your picture at the top left, or on the icon Profile at the bottom.
► Press Menu at the bottom right.
► Scroll the drop-down menu to the bottom, and tap Settings and privacythen on Settings.
► Drag the drop-down menu to Audience and visibilitythen press How others can find and contact you.
► Finally, press Who can see your friends list? and choose your audience: Audience (everyone on or off Facebook), Friends (your friends on Facebook), Friends except… (do not show to some friends), Specific Friends (show only certain friends), or Only me (your list will be visible to you only).
