How to Restrict Someone on Facebook 2022 without blocking them

Stop someone from seeing your Facebook posts without unfriending them.

The Restrict feature on Facebook is an ideal way to hide your posts from people you are friends with on Facebook, without blocking or unfriending them.

When you restrict someone, you still remain friends with that certain person on Facebook. The friends added to your restricted list can only see posts that you share publicly and posts you tag them in.

In short, restricted people can only view your Facebook profile and its information as Public.

Thankfully, Facebook doesn’t notify the person when you restrict them and you continue to see their posts and updates on your timeline.

The restricted option comes in handy when you need to stay friends with someone but don’t want them to see your personal updates. For instance, you might want to restrict your boss or employer, your co-workers, certain acquaintances, or a sneaky relative.

Perhaps, a lot of people on Facebook still aren’t aware of the Restrict option. Moreover, you can’t restrict someone on Facebook 2022 right away as the setting isn’t easily accessible in Facebook’s new interface.

To ease this, here’s how you can add someone to your Facebook Restricted List on mobile and desktop.

    Is there a way where I can accept a new friend request who I will want to restrict – but where they also cannot see past posts? I don’t want them to see my posting history.
    Hope so. Thanks for your help.
