How To Hide Your Facebook Activity From Friends?

To hide your Facebook activity and prevent specific friends from seeing your updates, follow these steps for desktop browsers:

1. Log in to your Facebook account.
2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner.
3. Select 'Settings & privacy' from the drop-down menu.
4. Choose 'Settings' in the menu on the left.
5. Navigate to the 'Privacy' section.

To hide specific types of activities from appearing on your timeline or in your friend's newsfeeds:

• Go to 'Activity Recent' in your timeline.
• Click 'Hide from Timeline' to hide that particular activity.
• Click 'Hide Similar Activity from Timeline' to hide every action of that type (e.g., all likes, all friend requests, etc.).

To control friend lists and avoid unwanted views:

1. In the 'Privacy' section, scroll down to 'Your activity' and then 'Who can see your future posts?' Click to select a more private option (e.g., 'Friends' if you'd like to hide from the public and from specific friends).
2. For past posts, click on the pencil icon in 'Activity Recent', followed by 'Hidden Activities.' Choose the activities you want to hide, then click 'Hidden from Timeline' and 'Hidden from Everyone' to make it invisible to everyone, including friends.
3. To hide 'Friends and Following' lists:
   • Select 'Who can see your friends list on your profile?' and choose 'Only me' from the list of options.

Remember, while these steps will help control who can see your activity, there's no direct way to completely hide your actions from a specific person without also managing who can see your updates. However, you can manage visibility on a friend or group level, not on an individual friend's basis.

To block someone:

1. Go to 'Settings & privacy'.
2. Navigate to 'Blocking' section.
3. Add the person to your block list.

Please note that blocking someone will prevent all interactions between you and the blocked person, not just activity updates. For the purpose of hiding only activity updates, the methods provided earlier are the most effective measures available within the confines of the current Facebook privacy settings.
