What is Restricted List on Facebook?

A restricted list on Facebook is a way to limit what some of your friends can see on your profile. You can add people to your restricted list if you don’t want them to see your posts, stories, or other stuff that you share with your friends. They will still be able to see your public information, like your name, profile picture, and cover photo, but they won’t be able to see anything else unless you tag them or share it with them directly.

You can manage your restricted list from your settings, and you can add or remove people anytime you want. Just remember that they won’t know that you have added them to your restricted list, so don’t act weird around them or they might get suspicious. Let’s see how to create a restricted list on Facebook.
