One of the biggest issues that the world is facing these days is privacy. Everyone, from Edward Snowden to Julian Assange are raising concerns about how secure our privacy is, and whether what we do when we’re on our own is being watched by someone or not.
Especially with the advent of social media, concerns about whether our information remains confidential. With Facebook being the most popular social networking site, privacy concerns are often raised on who can see and access our private pictures, posts and who can comment on them.
One of the privacy settings that most people find difficult to comprehend is setting up privacy for your friend list. Now with Facebook’s new updates, you can hide friend list on Facebook, even if they’re your friends, so if you don’t want anyone finding out who are you friends with, they just won’t be able to see them.
There are multiple ways in which you can hide your friend list from someone, all of which are listed below which guide you comprehensively and take you through the process and steps that you have to pass through to master this new privacy setting to change it according to your taste.
