Facebook offers several ways to do this, including deleting your account, changing privacy settings, and requesting that your mutual friends hide their friend lists from you. Regardless of your situation, the following tips will help you keep your social network private. Listed below are three of the most popular methods:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_your_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Delete your Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re sick of being stalked on Facebook, you can delete your account to hide your mutual friends. You can do this by making a new one with an email that you don&#8217;t use for the other account. Once you&#8217;ve created the new account, you&#8217;ll need to add the mutual friend to your list. Afterward, you can unfollow the friend to remove him or her from the list.<\/p>\n<p>To hide mutual friends from view, go to the &#8220;More&#8221; section of your profile. In the Friends section, click on the arrow next to their names. If you don&#8217;t see your mutual friends, they&#8217;re likely not your friends. They may have disabled their accounts or they may have deleted their accounts. If they&#8217;re logged in to Facebook, however, they&#8217;ll still see your posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_a_friend_list\"><\/span>Hide a friend list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to hide your mutual friends from Facebook. You can choose to hide the list from everyone, only select your friends, or simply choose to show your mutual friends only to selected people. To hide a friend from your list, follow the steps below. If you have no interest in keeping them, hide their name from your list. To view the list of mutual friends, tap on the minus icon next to the name. You will notice a red circle around the name. Then, hit the Save Changes button. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you&#8217;ll no longer see that person&#8217;s activity.<\/p>\n<p>To hide your mutual friends from everyone else, simply go to the &#8216;Who can see your friend list&#8217; section of your Facebook settings. Click the &#8216;Who can see my friend list?&#8217; link under the &#8216;How People Find and Contact You&#8217; header. You can also hide the friends list of specific users, if desired. However, it&#8217;s important to note that this will not hide all your mutual friends at once. Fortunately, hiding the list from other people is easy and quick.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_privacy_settings\"><\/span>Change your privacy settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to hide your mutual friends on Facebook, you will need to change your privacy settings. This will ensure that your friends will not see your list of friends. However, you can&#8217;t completely hide them. Nevertheless, you can hide them from specific friends. By following the instructions below, you&#8217;ll be able to hide mutual friends on Facebook. Despite what the name suggests, you can still view the list of your friends.<\/p>\n<p>If you are using Facebook, you may already have some friends who you don&#8217;t want to see your posts and updates. You can change this by choosing the only me option. This will prevent your friends from seeing your posts or sharing your content with your mutual friends. If you want to hide your mutual friends, you can also ask specific people to follow the steps above. Facebook has over two billion users. However, if you want to stay private, you need to change your privacy settings to hide mutual friends on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_out_if_someone_has_restricted_you_from_seeing_mutual_friends\"><\/span>Find out if someone has restricted you from seeing mutual friends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Occasionally, you might have noticed that someone has restricted you from seeing their friends. Perhaps you&#8217;ve noticed that posts from people you&#8217;re mutually friends with aren&#8217;t showing up on their wall, or that conversations with them are much harder to initiate. Fortunately, there are several easy ways to find out if someone has blocked you from seeing their mutual friends on Facebook. Here&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n<p>Check the friend&#8217;s profile. If you&#8217;ve become friends with the person, check whether they have restricted your access to their posts. Usually, if they&#8217;re blocking you, it&#8217;s because you&#8217;ve blocked them. If this is the case, you can unfriend them to see what they&#8217;ve been up to. If they&#8217;ve blocked you from seeing their posts, you won&#8217;t see anything until you friend them again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_if_someone_has_put_you_on_a_Restricted_list\"><\/span>Check if someone has put you on a Restricted list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To check if someone has put you on a Facebook Restricted list, you can visit their profile to see if you have anything private to view. You can see whether the person is restricted by looking at the empty space at the top of their profile. If so, this means that they have set everything to private. Otherwise, you can look at their posts to see if they have hidden them from public view.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the official website or app to see if someone has hidden you from mutual friends. You can also type the name of the person to see whether they have hidden your post. You may have a hard time locating this information, but it is possible to see if someone has put you on a Restricted list. However, it&#8217;s still important to remember that nothing is truly private online. You can never be too careful when posting personal or sensitive information. It can end up being exposed by a fluke, hacker, or someone passing along screenshots. So it may not be worth the risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Mutual Friends on Facebook You might be wondering how to hide mutual friends on Facebook.
