In Facebook, how to make your account not that visible to everyone?

Asked by f4a (601points) July 29th, 2009

one can change the setting, so when people search you in the search box, they won’t see your friends list. But my question is, do people see me in other people’s list when I’m friends with them? How can I change that? If I didnt explain my question well I’ll try to add more informaton later.

To hide yourself so people cant see you in your friends list , don’t be there friend if your profile is private . They wont be able to look at it is they inturn add you as a friend , you have the ability to just click no .

Go to http://www.facebook.com/privacy/?view=profile and uncheck everything that you don’t want to be seen.

Let’s say I have 2 people who know each other. I’ll be in friend As facebook, but I don’t want friend B to know I have an account. Friend A promised not to tell but, won’t Friend B know theres such an account when B is in Friend As account?

Select “Friends -> Only Friends” to avoid that.
