I'm fairly adept with computers and software but trying to find basic settings on Facebook is an annoyingly unintuitive process. The problem gets compounded if you switch between mobile app and desktop website as I do, because they don't always agree with each other.
I commented here a month ago...but what I found out is you have to use a desktop/laptop or login your FB on browser instead of using the app. The people that were not showing up when I used mobile, showed up when I tried logging in to my laptop, then used Chrome browser.

As someone else rightly commented, and RUclips agrees, it has to be done on a laptop or computer! So, if they think they've got 'one on you', just go on your laptop and give them a 'taste of their own medicine'!!!😅😅
The only problem with hiding your posts from certain people is that, if another person they are friends with on Facebook (and you are also friends with) says to that person "did you see their post last night?" They'll say "What? No I didn't." Then they go to check your profile and realise they can't see it, but the other person can. Eventually that can cause conflict.
Lets say though that I make a comment on someone else's feed/page and I want to block/restrict a specific person from seeing that comment.....how would I do that?
I notice that if you except a friend, then your mutual friends like or commentson your post, that friend you except sees your post that your mutual friends liked and commented.
Now I know my friend use to use this to bullying me with her post so other missionary don't see it but me.She bullys me by comparing me to her new friends and makes fun of fun i eat back in our country well she eats good food in that country.This hurt so much and now I am trying to block her but she is my friend 😢.Just feel so betrayed.I am Michelle Koete I say no to bullying.
I'm not sure! But, I think you can hide your old post from friends, but you can't hide post that from someone that you already agreed to share with originally. But, if you no longer want people to see a post you already shared to them, just change the audience, 'for me only' !
What about a blank post that you can like but can't see the content. I actually posted **blank* in the box to alert the person. I saw it unsure if they did. Might just be hid from me? But then why would I see it and be able to like it. 🤔
Can you do the same with a profile picture? To where they would just see the last one. I mean if you obviously are trying to hide your post from someone, you may want to hide your profile picture also.
If you hide your post from specific friends that you can see on your friend's list! Then they definitely won't see it! If I post a prayer image, I hide it from two particular friends. Because, they always make rude comments and jokes about people who believe in God!!!! Although they are nice people, I just try to avoid conflict with anyone.
I'm the admin of a group and post a lot of events. Is there a way for some members not to see certain events? I wouldn't want to block them or suspend them, just I wouldn't want them to see some events. Thanks
I think I might have phrased my first question incorrectly! When I looked at my friends list, certain people's names are on my friends list, but when I try to hide my post from these people, their names don't show. There must be a way of hiding your post from people who you don't want to share your post with! They are able to stop you hiding your post from them, what can I do, apart from resorting to block them? I asked this question on Google, and the answer I got was that certain people are able to do that: prevent you from hiding post from them, whereas they can hide theirs from you. 'All that happens is when your press, hide from, their names don't appear,you only see it when you are looking at your friends list, but you can't hide your post from them, unless you block them!

Did this work for you?
Yes? 😀 Give me a shoutout in the comments!
No? 😢 Leave a comment with your problem and we'll figure it out together.

Same!
Agreed.
Why do certain people don't show in the list why is that?
Same issue
I thinks it's because they have the professional mode enabled, also my problem

How do I stop Facebook friends from seeing my comments on other posts?
Can I make my post visible to the public, but hidden to specific friends?
can i set my audience in public and still limit some people from seeing my posts?
Thanks in advance
same question
Yes i did that always but there are specific person on my friends list that is not appearing when i dont like them to see my post :(
Lets say though that I make a comment on someone else's feed/page and I want to block/restrict a specific person from seeing that comment.....how would I do that?

Are you sure? Or do they just see the comment from the person but not the post?
Mine doesn’t have the default option, only individual posts
Can other people see that those people have been restricted?
But that option does not allow public and exclude a specific person, right?
I need that same thing
Excellent instructions. Thank you
Now I know my friend use to use this to bullying me with her post so other missionary don't see it but me.She bullys me by comparing me to her new friends and makes fun of fun i eat back in our country well she eats good food in that country.This hurt so much and now I am trying to block her but she is my friend 😢.Just feel so betrayed.I am Michelle Koete I say no to bullying.
Great thanks for letting me know. This is a great help.
Will they still be able to see old posts if you put default on the new?

What if you can message them but can't see their posts,and when you try to tap their profile it says page error
My options says specific friends twice 😢
I haven't got except for option. Help

I actually posted **blank* in the box to alert the person. I saw it unsure if they did.
Might just be hid from me? But then why would I see it and be able to like it. 🤔
My Facebook has the 3 dots but no option to edit privacy. Of course....
Me too.
Using the app or computer? I use only the app and can’t see this option.
@brendatomlinson I use the app, for one profile, and Facebook on my phone browser for my second profile. I rarely open it on the computer
Can you do the same with a profile picture? To where they would just see the last one. I mean if you obviously are trying to hide your post from someone, you may want to hide your profile picture also.
But I can't find that specific person on my friends list whenever I change the privacy setting. What should I do?
Does it work the same way on the app? I don’t use a computer.
Doesn't show them anything even when they search, cz it says that (ur post will show up in feed, on ur profile and in search results)?!!

Does it hide the people in the red box or clear box?
Red box

People like that are very doggy and disrespectful, if they can stop you from having your own privacy they are very dangerous; block them
