Let's say your boss has sent you a friend request on Facebook. Instead of immediately declining the request, it is better to learn how to create friends lists on Facebook, because that way you can properly control who sees what on Facebook. At least then you know for sure that your boss doesn't see what you were up to in the pub last night.

Method 1 of 3: Use the built-in Good Friends, Acquaintances and Inaccessible lists

1. Log in to facebook with your username and password.
2. Click on "Friends" in the left column on your home page.
3. Click on "Good Friends" in the list that appears.
4. Click the "On this list" drop-down menu and choose "Friends".
5. Click on the friends you want to add or remove from the list. Then click on "Finish".
6. Go back to the list page. Edit the "Acquaintances" or "Not Accessible" lists if necessary.
   • On the "Acquaintances" list you put people you know less well. Their information will rarely appear in your news feed.
   • On the "Not accessible" list, put people who you want to see only your public posts or posts in which the person is tagged. They will not see your other messages.

Method 2 of 3: Edit Smartlists

1. Click on "Friends" in the left column on your home page.
2. View your smartlists. Smartlists are created by Facebook based on the information you add to your timeline. For example, you see lists related to your profession, your employer, your education and your place of residence.
3. Click on the list you want to manage. A news summary of the people on that list will now appear.
4. Select "Manage List" in the top right corner of the news feed. Select the field you want to edit from the drop-down menu.
5. Add friends to the list by entering something in the "add (name) to this list" text box or by clicking friends under "List suggestions".
6. Return to the list page to edit any other lists.

Method 3 of 3: Create your own list

1. Click on "Friends" in the left column on your home page.
2. Click on "Create list" at the top of the page.
3. Enter the desired name for the list at "List name". Enter the names of friends in "Members".
4. Go back to the list page. The new list is now listed on the page.

Tips

• You can add Friends to lists when you are on their timeline. Mouse over the "Friends" button and select the list you want to add them to.
