Make visible mutual friends only

I read in a few comments in blogs, like this the following:

"You Can't Hide Your Friends List From Your Friends,"

Well, that was possible before, until Facebook removed some settings in December 2009

In May 2010 Facebook quietly restore -or at least partially- that function.

Even better, I was able to hide friends and make visible only 'mutual friends' to my friends.

This is what you can try:

Create a few lists, like "School", "Family", "Church" ... you get the idea.

How can you do this?

Go to:
Account > Edit Friends

On the left side, under Lists, click on "Friends"

click on "Create new list" (top center)

Now for each friend, and every time you add a friend, select on the right "Add to list". A friend can be in multiple lists.

Now hide your friends, using the instructions in "How to hide your friends in Facebook"

When I say you can try is because Facebook may have changed their mind by the time you read this

How to hide your friends in Facebook

Go to:

- Account
- Privacy Settings
- Friends, tabs and connections

For 'Friends' you have three choices: Everyone, Friends of Friends, Friends or Custom

To hide all your friends select "custom" and then in "Make this visible to" "These People" select "Only me"

I can hide my friends

So Facebook took it back! I can hide my friends now!!!
