Facebook, over time, has introduced several privacy features, the most important being the privacy setup for the friends-list to give its users full control over their profile. Facebook has a friend list option on the user’s profile page, located below the cover photo, on the left side. By default, it is set to display all of your friends to everyone who sees your profile.
You are free to make changes in the privacy settings if you don’t want to publicly display your friend list to the world of unknown strangers. The largest social networking platform offers a plethora of security options under privacy setting to helps the users stay secured. This means you can hide your Friends list from the general public, from specific friends, or from everyone.
