2.Pick “Settings & Privacy” from the dropdown menu.

3.Select Settings.

4.Choose "Privacy" from the left-hand panel.

5.The initial item on the list is "Who can see your future posts". In case it indicates "Public", click on "Edit" and then select "Friends" from the dropdown list.

6.Select "Close" to confirm and save the modification you've made.

7.Moreover, you have the option to adjust the audience for your earlier posts right on this screen. Search for a section titled "Limit the audience for posts you've shared with friends of friends or Public." Click on "Limit Past Posts," and then click on "Limit Past Posts" once more to finalize the change.

How You Can Keep Your Facebook Friends List Confidential

By default, Facebook sets your friends list to be public. This implies that regardless of whether someone is your friend on the platform or not, they have the ability to view your friends list. However, you are able to modify your privacy preferences either through the Facebook settings section or directly on your profile page.

1.On the Settings and Privacy interface, click on the "Edit" option adjacent to "Who can see your friends list".

2.Choose either "Friends" or "Only me" to make your friends list private.

3.Alternatively, navigate to your Facebook profile page. Then, access the "Friends" tab beneath your cover photo.

4.Click on the three - dot menu located in the top - right corner of the Friends page and select "Edit Privacy".

5.Choose an audience option beside "Friends List" and "Following".

6.Click on the X icon to confirm the changes and exit the window.
