How do you hide your friends on Facebook?

October 16, 2009

Guess what, today someone asked me that. Let me answer that real quick:

I don’t have any, isn’t that obvious?
No, just kidding.

Go to Settings in the upper right corner of the page, select Privacy -> Profile or go straight to
http://www.facebook.com/privacy/?view=profile
Here in the drop down menu for Friends, select Customize….
Untick the checkbox for Everyone on Facebook
Under Friends select the radio button for Only Friends
Under Networks select None of My Networks
And finally under Except These People add a friend list to which you add all your friends. In my case, I sort my friends in friend lists to companies, gender and age groups anyway, so I just add those friend lists there.

Update: Since the rollout of the new privacy settings, this doesn’t work anymore.
