In general, Facebook and social media are all about connecting you with other people and sharing important events with your network of friends.
If privacy is essential to you, there are ways to filter what your Facebook friends can see and what elements remain hidden from their view.
In this guide, we’re going to show you how you can stop your Facebook friends from seeing your activity, likes, and Friends list.
How to Hide Your Friends List on Facebook
- Click on your account menu on PC or profile picture on Android.
- Go to Settings and Privacy.
- Then, select Who can see what you share.
- Click on Continue to go to the settings you’re interested in.
- Navigate to Friends and following.
- Go to Who can see your Friends list on your profile?
- Then select Only me to hide your list of friends.
How to Hide Your Activity on Facebook
- Go to Settings and Privacy.
- Then select Who can see what you share.
- Hit Continue and then Next to go to Posts and stories.
- You can control who can see your future posts. If you want to hide them completely, select Only me.
- The Only me option is not available for stories. However, you set the privacy settings to Friends. In other words, only your friends will be able to see your stories.
- There is also the option to Limit past posts.
- This means that you can hide past posts that were previously set to Public or Friends of friends. More specifically, only your friends will see your past posts.
- If you want to undo this action, you need to manually edit the audience of each post.
How to Hide the People and Pages You Follow on Facebook
- Go Settings and Privacy.
- Then select Who can see what you share.
- Go to Friends and following.
- Navigate to Who can see the people, Pages, and lists you follow?
- If you want to hide any information related to the people, pages, and lists that you follow, select the Only me option.
- Or you can choose to hide this information from friends except for a few specific friends.
- If you want to hide any information related to the people, pages, and lists that you follow, select the Only me option.
How Do I Make My Comments Private on Facebook?
Unfortunately, you can’t hide your Facebook comments. Only the person who initially shared the post can change the privacy settings of that post. If they decide to hide or delete the post, the same thing will happen to your comment.
As long as the post’s privacy is set to Public, it will remain visible. And so will your comment.
We hope this guide answered your questions.
