Hiding your mutual friends list on Facebook

Solved/Closed

Hello,

I would like to know how I can hide not just my friends list since I've found out how to do that, but how to hide my mutual friends list on Facebook. Let me explain: If someone wants to add me or has my address/page, they can see the mutual friends and confirm it's really me, which I don't want.

Thank you in advance :-)

In truth, the list of "mutual friends" doesn't really depend on you. You're not the one in control of the situation. What you can hide is just your friends list; the rest doesn't depend solely on you!

For example, I'm friends with Patricia (my girlfriend) and Cécile (my ex).

I hide my friends list because I'm good with computers.
But Cécile is not at all skilled (that's why I dumped her), and she keeps her friends list open.

Patricia accidentally visits Cécile's profile and ta-da! SURPRISE!
Patricia finds that I am a mutual friend with Cécile. (Even though I hide my friends list, unfortunately Cécile has her entire friends list open, so Facebook cross-references Patricia's friends list with Cécile's and generates the "mutual friends" list between them, which includes "me" among others...).

In the end, Patricia dumps me too because I lied to her by saying that it was over between Cécile and me and that I had no contact with her anymore).

(PS: Nothing in this story is true, I'm single and I've never had a girlfriend :blush: , I'm 24 years old by the way!)

I really liked your teaching approach; otherwise, I still have a free sister, I could set you up with her!!!!
