That is why Meta, formerly Facebook, has implemented a series of very interesting tips for us to manage who can see the content or information of our profile and who cannot. This way you can configure it.

How to add a person to a restricted access list

To have the freedom to share our memories, trips, and even photographs of our daily lives securely, we need to take the following steps to do this with an added touch of privacy . First of all, we will go to the “ Profile ” of the person we want.

Next, we will tap on the button that says “ Friends ”, once this is done the menu opens automatically and we will select “ Edit friends list ” and we will select “ Restricted access ” in this way the selected person will only be able to see the publications that we upload to our Facebook as “ Public ”.

How to restrict my profile

If we activate this function, it is necessary to highlight that only those people on our friends list are the ones who can see our photos and other content that we post on Facebook , preventing access to people who want to " Stalk " our profile.

First, we will go to “ Settings ”, after this we will touch on “ Settings and privacy ”, once we are in this menu we will go down to the “ public and visibility ” section and the box that we will see below it “ Profile restriction ” we will touch there and finally at the bottom we will see a blue box “ Restrict your profile ”. In this way we can add a plus to the privacy of our profile.

How to edit my restricted access list

If we want to observe the profiles of people, who have restricted access to our publications , it is necessary that we locate ourselves in our profile. Once here, we will touch the “ Settings ” nut.

Then we will tap on “ Settings ” and after this “ blocks ” > “ Restricted people list and edit list ”. In this section, we can add and remove people from your “ Restricted Access ” list. Being an easier way to carry out this task.

It is a very easy and simple way to hide posts, shared images and more from people we want to have added as friends without having to remove them from our friends list, for example our in-laws, bosses or even family members who we generally prefer them to know nothing plus what is necessary in our lives.
