How to Make Your Friends List Private on Facebook

You can change Facebook privacy settings at any time.

The friends you connect with on Facebook are listed on your profile by name and a small thumbnail photograph. By default, anyone who has access to your page can browse your friends list and see who you're connected to. If you would rather keep your connections private, Facebook makes it possible to hide the list. The change is not permanent -- you can make the list public again at any time.

Instructions

1. Click on the "Account" link at the top of any Facebook page.

2. Click "Privacy Settings" in the drop-down menu that appears.

3. Click on the "View Settings" link.

4. Scroll down to the "See your friend list" line on the page. Click on the button at the end of this line; by default, the icon says "Everyone." After clicking on it, a drop-down menu will appear that displays the various privacy options. Select "Customize."

5. Click on the arrow next to the "Friends Only" icon in the "Make this visible to" section. Choose "Only Me." Click "Save Setting" at the bottom of the window.
