Viewing your postIf you want to post something that you don’t want to share with your professional contacts, set the post visibility to “friends”.

You can even limit visibility to specific people.

Set post visibilityNote that you can change the privacy setting on any individual Facebook post or photo, either at the time of posting, or after the fact.

This way, the default for anything you post will be to share it only with friends who aren’t on your restricted list.

Who can see my stuff?Set “Who can see your future posts” to “friends” so that you don’t accidentally share things with the whole world.

Edit privacy settingsUnder “Who can see my stuff?”, if it’s not set to “friends”, select “edit” next to “who can see your future posts?”.

Note that Facebook frequently moves its settings around, so the screenshots I’m sharing today may not reflect how Facebook will work a month or year from now.

In this guide, I show you how to add people to your restricted list, and how to tweak both your Facebook settings and your individual post settings so you control who sees what. (Because even after I put my mom on my restricted list, her friends reported on my Facebook updates.)

My restricted list contains anyone I agree to friend but don’t really know (as a writer, I like to be accessible to people who read my blog posts) as well as my workplace colleagues, my mom and my mom’s friends. One of the most useful lists is the “restricted” list, because it lets you share things with your friends, while hiding them from people on your restricted list. Organizing your Facebook friends into lists is a great way to share different kinds of content with different kinds of people: for example, you might want to share certain updates with your colleagues, and other kinds of updates (like those adorable kid photos) with a small circle of friends.įacebook automatically creates a few of these lists for you, like the list of people who went to the same school you went to.
