These options include Ghost mode, Custom friends, and blocking specific people from viewing your list of friends. You can also use the snooze button to block the visibility of particular people. This article will go over these options and how to use them to your benefit. It also explains how to hide your friends on Facebook. Once you have learned how to do this, you should have no problems keeping your friends&#8217; information private.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom_friends\"><\/span>Custom friends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering how to hide custom friends on Facebook. While you are in the &#8216;Edit Privacy&#8217; section, click the &#8216;Custom&#8217; option in the top right corner. Then, type the names of your two friends into the &#8216;Don&#8217;t share with&#8217; section, and click Save Changes. Now, these two friends will no longer be able to view any of your other Facebook friends. However, you should make sure that they don&#8217;t become your Facebook friends by accident!<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has several ways to hide custom friends. You can make your list public or private, and choose who can see it. You can also select &#8220;Friends only&#8221; and &#8220;Friends except&#8230;&#8221; to restrict who can see your friends. If you don&#8217;t want all of your friends to see your list, however, you can set it to &#8220;Only me&#8221; and hide your list from all users. However, you should make sure to delete the &#8220;Friends of Friends&#8221; option, because this option is only available for certain friends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ghost_mode\"><\/span>Ghost mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are constantly checking Facebook, you might want to enable the Ghost mode to hide yourself from your friends. This feature will freeze and blur your location in real time, and your friends won&#8217;t be notified when you are in ghost mode. Using the Ghost mode on Facebook will also limit the items you can carry, and it makes dying permanent. However, this feature is not for everyone. Before you enable the Ghost mode on Facebook, it&#8217;s a good idea to check whether this mode is the best fit for your needs.<\/p>\n<p>To turn on Ghost mode, you need to remove the indicator showing when you are online. This method is applicable to both Android and iPhones. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll be invisible to anyone who has added you as an active contact. While deactivating this indicator comes with a drawback, it&#8217;s worth the sacrifice because it will make it harder for people to find you when you&#8217;re online.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_specific_people_from_seeing_your_friends_list\"><\/span>Blocking specific people from seeing your friends list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to block specific people from seeing your friends list on Facebook, the first step is to select those people whose posts you do not want to see. Then click on the &#8220;block&#8221; button, and you will see the people you&#8217;ve selected with a red minus next to their name. You can then select as many as you like. The people you choose to block will be listed individually at the bottom of your friends list. Note that the look of the block box varies from device to device. In desktop and smartphone versions, the &#8220;block&#8221; button is a blue checkmark.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve blocked someone from your friends list, they will no longer be able to see your news feed or timeline. Additionally, they will not be able to see your profile, tagging you, or initiating conversations with you. If you&#8217;re already friends with a specific person, you can block them from seeing their friends list by unfriending them. However, this is not recommended for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snooze\"><\/span>Snooze<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Snooze friends on Facebook is a simple tool that removes individual posts from your News Feed for a month. This feature is perfect for friends who go on long political rants, cousins who keep posting pictures of their adorable babies, and uncles who post endless photos of cat videos. It even works for friends who only post pictures of ramen in Japan. Regardless of who you snooze, you&#8217;ll be sure to get your news feed back to a sane level.<\/p>\n<p>Snooze friends on Facebook is a relatively new feature that has a lot of benefits. By default, it hides posts from your feed for 30 days, but you can re-display them after that time. This feature is great for oversharing, too! It also saves you the hassle of remembering to un-snooze each individual post. Just remember that Snooze only applies to posts on your news feed, not to your Facebook profile.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfriend\"><\/span>Unfriend<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook is an excellent social networking website, but if you&#8217;ve got too many friends or are simply fed up with the content they post, you may want to know how to hide your friends on Facebook. There are a couple of ways to do it, including hiding individual posts, wall posts, and comments. But before we get into those, let&#8217;s look at the news feed option. By clicking the ellipsis next to the post you want to hide, you&#8217;ll be able to select a specific post to hide from the news feed.<\/p>\n<p>Using this option allows you to set the visibility of your Friends List to only certain people. You can choose to make your list public to everyone or just friends only. The only difference between public and private Friends lists is who can see your posts. Hide Friends isn&#8217;t the same as blocking your entire friends list. It won&#8217;t prevent your hidden friends from viewing your posts and private messages, but it will prevent them from seeing those of your friends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_privacy_settings\"><\/span>Changing privacy settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your Facebook privacy settings, go to the General Account Settings page. This page is located at the top left of your timeline and allows you to select whom can see your posts. The default setting allows you to limit who sees your posts to those who are currently friends with you. However, you can change this default setting to let anyone view your posts, block people you don&#8217;t want to follow, and control who can add you to their friends list. Click on the &#8220;Friends Except&#8221; option to exclude certain Facebook friends.<\/p>\n<p>To change your Facebook privacy settings, you&#8217;ll first need to log into your account. Once you&#8217;re logged into Facebook, click on the profile picture to display the settings menu. Click on the privacy option under &#8220;How people find and contact you&#8221; and select the &#8220;Edit&#8221; link in the right hand corner. You can also change your Facebook privacy settings by using your computer and access the Facebook site through your browser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Your Friends on Facebook If you want to hide your friends on Facebook, you can use one of several options available.
