How to See Hidden Friend List on Facebook – Have you ever wondered why you couldn’t view the friend list of some or a few of your Facebook friends?

Truly, when you click on some of your friends’ profiles, you only see the mutual friends but not all of their friends. Yes, it happens, and that’s why this post will greatly help.

Sadly, not all friend lists are available for public view; therefore, you may be unable to see your friend’s friend list because he/she intentionally hid it, probably for privacy or security sake.

Now, you might be wondering if it is possible to see a hidden friend list on Facebook. The answer is yes; a hidden friend list on Facebook can be seen, and in this article, we’ll show you how to do just that.

Facebook Friend List

On Facebook, we have hundreds and thousands of friends. Yes, this is amazing. These include old friends and newly made friends.

The list of all the friends you have on Facebook is called your Facebook friend list. It is that section on Facebook where you’ll find a list of all the friends any Facebook user has. It displays all your FB friends, and from there, you can view your friend’s friend list.

All Facebook users have this list, and it is part of what makes up a complete profile. So when you are searching for a friend, you can visit your Facebook friend list too.

Facebook Hidden Friends

Many people hide their friend list on Facebook, and when this is done, their Facebook friends can only see their mutual friends but not their entire list of friends.

People hide their friend lists for several reasons but mostly due to security and personal reasons.

According to reports, Facebook has blocked all loopholes and ways one uses to see his/her friend’s hidden friend list. This shouldn’t bother you, though, because there’s hope. Try out the three methods below and see which of them will work for you.

Note that this Facebook feature filters people based on the keywords you insert.
