That lets you share your baby photos only with family members, for instance. Whatever audience you select for a certain post becomes the default going forward.
Facebook made all user profiles searchable back in , making it easier for other people to find you on the site. But users still have the ability to stop Google and other search engines from listing their profiles in search results. Facebook tracks your browsing habits across the Internet and uses this data to serve you more personalized ads.
If that sounds creepy to you, you can tell the company to stop. All your actions on Facebook are still fair game for serving targeted ads, though. Just below this option is a setting to turn off ads paired with your social actions. How about my boss? Will he see my crazy weekend in Mexico? How far will strangers have to scroll to discover embarrassing, teenage posts from five years ago?
Perhaps you, much like me, wondered the same thing. If so, then this article will confirm your speculations. Click the expand button shaped like an upside-down triangle to get to settings, the second-to-the-last option from the dropdown menu. Settings give you the power to control how you want Facebook to work for you. On your page, you will see various subsections. If you can see certain posts and photos, this means those posts and photos are available for public eyes because you posted with a public privacy setting.
Not only can you view your profile through the eyes of the public, but you can also view your profile through the eyes of specific Facebook friends. Note that you can only search for Facebook friends. There you have it. Now that you know what your Facebook profile looks like to others, take the time to scroll through your Timeline and find the embarrassing posts visible to the public. Go to the Facebook profile of the friend you want to add to your Restricted list.
If you're having trouble finding them, type their name into the search bar at the top of the Facebook website or app. Once on your friend's profile page, look for the button that says Friends.
Tap on it. A small menu should pop up. Click on either Edit Friend Lists or Add to another list. The menu text will change depending on what app you're using or if you're on the Facebook website but the function is the same regardless of what it says. You will be shown a list of numerous Facebook lists designed to categorize the people you communicate with on the social network. Scroll down to the bottom of this list to the one named Restricted. Tap on it to add your friend to the Restricted list.
Facebook friends on your Restricted list will still be able to see all of your posts published with the Public privacy setting as well as any posts published with the Friends privacy setting that they are personally tagged or mentioned in. Public posts are identifiable by the globe icon while Friends posts have the icon that looks like two people. Any post can have its privacy setting changed simply be editing them via the ellipsis menu in the post's top-right corner.
After adding at least one friend to your Restricted list, create a new Facebook post as per usual. Before you publish your post, make sure that the Friends people icon is showing. If the Public globe icon is showing instead, tap on it and select Friends.
Publish your post. It will now be viewable by all of your Facebook friends except for those that you've added to the Restricted list. Anyone on your Restricted list will automatically be unable to view posts you make for Friends from this point forward. Facebook users are not notified of being added to or removed from lists on the social network so there is no direct way for your friends to find out that they've been added to your Restricted list.
To remove a Facebook friend from your Restricted list, open their profile page in a web browser or within an official Facebook app. Click on the Friends icon on their profile. From the new menu that's popped up, click on Edit Friend Lists or Add to another list. The exact text will vary depending on how you're accessing Facebook. Scroll down the list of Facebook lists to Restricted. There should be a check mark next to the list name. Tap on it to remove the check mark.
