Facebook: Hide photo albums from friends
On Facebook you can hide your photo albums from certain friends to protect your privacy. Our instructions show you how to exclude friends or only allow a few insights.
Hide Facebook photo albums from friends
- Click on your own profile and open the "Photos" tab, which you will find between your chronicle and your cover picture.
- Select the item "Albums" and click on the gear icon in the right corner of the corresponding album.
- If you choose "Just me", only you can view the album yourself. Your friends will no longer see the pictures it contains.
- If you only want to make the album accessible to certain people, select the "Specific people or lists" option.
- Here you can either enter individual people or lists who can view the album or individual friends who should not see it. Then confirm with "Save changes".
You should edit your privacy settings not only for photo albums, but also in Facebook groups. We will show you how this works in the next practical tip.
