Curious about how to keep your Facebook friends list private? Even though it’s usually visible to everyone by default, you can tweak your privacy settings in just a few seconds.
The good news is that the process is pretty straightforward whether you’re using the Facebook app on Android, iOS, or the web version. There aren’t many differences between Android and iPhone, making it easier to follow the steps.
Hide Your Friends List on Facebook

2. Locate the “Your Activity” section and select the “Who can see your friends list?” tab. Finally, choose “Only me” or “Specific friends” (in which case, let us know who they are).
