Facebook is a platform belonging to Meta that allows you to share your favorite moments, but maybe you have some contacts on the social network that you don’t want to see what you post. In this sense, you should know that it is no longer necessary to delete or block a friend or acquaintance, since it will be enough to use the ‘restricted access’. Here we tell you how it works.
When you add someone to your Facebook restricted access list, you prevent them from seeing your information and activity. This way you still keep her in your contacts, even if she can’t see everything you share.
This functionality is a very useful privacy tool, for example, if you don’t want your relatives to know about your new partner or if you don’t want your boss to look at your memes. The best thing is that in no case will that person be notified that access to your posts on the social network has been restricted.
