How To: Hide a Friend List on Facebook

When it comes to Facebook, privacy is a big deal. With over a billion and a half people using Facebook these days, it is important to be able to pick and choose who sees what aspects of your life.

One thing I get asked a lot is how to hide a friend list on your Facebook profile. It is pretty easy. Here is how you do it:

1. Go to your Facebook profile and hover your mouse over the friends list. You will see a pencil icon show up in the top right corner. Click on the pencil.
2. Select "edit privacy."
3. On the screen that pops up, Use the drop down on the right in the first section ("Who can see your friend list") to select whom you would like to be able to see your list. You can make it public, private to friends, private to only you or private to a custom list of friends.
4. Click "Done" and you are good to go.

Hope this helps!
