Step by step tutorial :  How to Hide Facebook Friend list

Now, one thing which I have noticed when you keep your profile frd list public, many people see the list and start adding friends blindly. And seeing common friends, other friend usually accept the request. Specially, it’s kind of embarrassing when your female friend inform that some mututal friend sent her friend request. It’s better to let friend list be visible only for you and hidden from others.

This guide has been updated in 2013 to match the new Facebook privacy settings, as Facebook made major changes in settings. So, follow this new tutorial and hide your Facebook friend list from others:

• Login to your Facebook account.
• Go to your Profile page

Now, on your Facebook friend list page. simply click on Edit icon at the top and from here you can control who can see your Friend list and who can’t. I usually keep it list visible to me only, as this is better for privacy of my friends and I don’t want them to be bombarded with unlimited friend requests.
