This article will give you the answer to this question. Facebook allows you to set up privacy on your friend list, so you can choose to hide certain activities. Moreover, this article will show you how to remove mutual friends from your friend list. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and follow the steps below and you&#8217;ll soon have a friend list without any mutual friends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_up_privacy_for_your_friends_list\"><\/span>Setting up privacy for your friend&#8217;s list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change the privacy settings for your friend list on Facebook to make it visible only to the people you choose. This feature is available in the Privacy section of the Friends list, which is located at the bottom of your profile page. Before changing the privacy of your friend list, you need to understand how the privacy setting works on Facebook. Below are a few steps to follow. To change the privacy of your friends list on Facebook, go to the settings tab and select the Custom Privacy setting.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to hide your friends list from everyone, you can select a specific group of people. You can also choose not to share your friend list with the public. If you are concerned about privacy, you can also choose to block your mutual friends from seeing each other. To hide the mutual friend list from everyone else, just select &#8216;Custom&#8217; from the privacy settings. In the Privacy section, choose &#8216;No one can see your friend list&#8217; and follow the instructions.<\/p>\n<p>To limit the visibility of your friend list, set your profile to only show mutual friends. By doing this, your friends cannot see your content or comment on your posts. They will never show up in your friend list. As you can see, Facebook privacy settings can be tricky to figure out. Follow these tips to make Facebook privacy settings easy to use. You can easily hide your friends list from all users, limit the visibility of your profile to mutual friends only, and delete any inactive friends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_mutual_friends_from_your_friend_list\"><\/span>Removing mutual friends from your friend list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can hide mutual friends on Facebook. To do this, you must go to your settings page, click on the pencil icon next to your friend&#8217;s name, and then select &#8220;hide from timeline.&#8221; This will make you unable to see the activity of this person. Fortunately, this process can also be used to hide unwanted friends. Once you&#8217;ve removed them, you can re-add them if you want to.<\/p>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll want to determine why you&#8217;d want to remove the friend. The most common reason for doing this is because the mutual friends were added by mistake. The list of mutual friends will appear after you added a new friend. You can also look at their timeline to determine when they started posting. If the mutual friend doesn&#8217;t appear in the list, this may be because their profile was hidden or deactivated.<\/p>\n<p>To edit this list, you&#8217;ll first need to know how to add new friends. The easiest way to do this is to click each thumbnail picture once to select it. Then, you&#8217;ll want to click on the &#8220;Start typing a name&#8221; field, and type the name you want to add. Click &#8220;OK&#8221; to save your changes. If you want to add friends to your friend list again, you can repeat the process above.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_mutual_friends_from_everyone_except_someone\"><\/span>Hide mutual friends from everyone except someone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure how to hide mutual friends from everyone except someone in your Facebook account, read on to learn how to do so. Facebook offers new custom settings that allow you to hide friends from everyone except you and your friends. You can access these settings by clicking the pencil icon next to the person&#8217;s name in your Friends tab and then selecting &#8216;Edit privacy.&#8217; You can also click the Custom gear icon to edit the settings of individual friends.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got a friend who doesn&#8217;t want anyone else seeing their friends&#8217; list, you can ask them to follow the steps. Alternatively, you can ask specific people to do the same. Facebook has over 2 billion users and provides an option to view mutual friends. If you want to hide your friends from everyone but the person you&#8217;re trying to protect, you can unfriend them. This will hide their list and they won&#8217;t be able to see it.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to hide your friend&#8217;s list entirely. This can be done from any device, so you can make it visible only to those you&#8217;d like to exclude. This option is found on the bottom of your profile page. However, if you want to hide your friend list from everyone, you need to be sure that you&#8217;re using the correct method. If you&#8217;re not sure how to change your privacy settings, you can also refer to our Facebook guide.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"220\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NM012lnPhrk\" width=\"394\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Mutual Friends in Facebook Have you ever wondered how to hide mutual friends in Facebook?
