Over time, Facebook has added some privacy features, and the most important is the privacy settings for friends lists, which gives users complete control over their profiles. On the left side of the user’s profile page, there is a friend list option underneath the cover photo. It’s set to show all of your friends to anyone who looks at your profile by default.
If you don’t want your buddy list to be openly displayed to the world of unknown strangers, you can adjust the privacy settings. The world’s largest social networking platform provides a slew of security options under the privacy settings to keep users safe.
