To hide mutual friends on Facebook, you generally need to adjust your privacy settings for your friends list or profile. Here’s how to do it:
1. Hide Mutual Friends on Facebook Profile:
– Go to your Facebook profile.
– Click on the “Friends” tab under your cover photo.
– Click on the pencil icon (Edit) next to “Find Friends.”
– Choose Edit Privacy from the drop-down menu.
– In the “Friend List” section, select who can see your friend list (e.g., Only Me to hide it completely, Friends to only show to friends, or Custom to specify certain people or groups).
– By hiding your friends list, you effectively hide mutual friends from other people who visit your profile.
2. Hide Mutual Friends from Specific People:
– If you want to hide your mutual friends from a particular person, go to their profile, click on the three dots in the top right corner of their profile, and select Block (if you want to hide everything from that person) or use the Privacy Settings to customize who can see certain parts of your profile, like your friends list.
3. Facebook Privacy Settings (General):
– Click the downward arrow in the top right corner of Facebook (on desktop) and select Settings & Privacy > Settings.
– From the left-hand menu, select Privacy.
– In the “How People Find and Contact You” section, review the options that may affect who can see your friend list or mutual friends, and adjust them accordingly.
Note: You cannot directly hide mutual friends alone without affecting other privacy settings (such as your friends list), but modifying these settings allows you to manage the visibility of your social connections more generally.
