Facebook Friend List 2024 – Manage your Friends List on Facebook

All facebook users can access their friend list. The list is there so you can organize your friends updates you want to see and those you’d want to discard. With Facebook friend list you can classify the level of interest you have for your friends and Facebook will only display updates of the friends that you find most useful. So a Facebook user can use the list to control his news feed better.

When you create a Facebook account, Facebook creates a default view for you to see this list, mouse over the friend header on the left sidebar of your news feed page and click “More.”  Lists of categories like Close Friends, Acquaintances, Family, Work, School, Your Area, and Restricted.” Priority is given to friends you add to close friends than those you add to acquaintances list. By adding your friends in these lists, you are assisting Facebook in deciding the updates you want to see.

If you feel you are not receiving enough updates from your acquaintances, you can move those you would like to see to the “Close Friends” lists. When a new friend request is accepted, you will be directed to the person’s profile page. You can add that new friend to a particular list by clicking “Friends” link and select the list you want to add the new friend to.
