How to manage friends list in Facebook?

Facebook is considered to be one of the most popular social networking websites in the world. With more and more people becoming members of Facebook, Facebook has introduced a new method to manage friends list for easier categorization.

There are mainly three types of default lists by means of which users can manage their friends.

Close Friends

Users can add their best friends on to this list

Users are provided with an option to control the notification

Users will have to turn Off the notification that represents their close friends list

By clicking on the Turn Off feature, users can hide the stories in their stream by going towards the Close friends list

Acquaintances

Users can add those friends to the specified list with whom the user is not that close

The friends that you have involved in this list will rarely show up in the users wall stream page

Users are also provided with an option of avoiding this list while the user is sharing any posts or updates in their wall as well as in their timeline profile page

Restricted

This feature is mainly meant for those with whom you don’t want to share anything with. It may even include your boss. Once the user includes Friends to this list, those friends will only be able to see the user’s public status updates as well as only those updates to which the users have actually tagged them.

Smart Lists

This is considered to be the list that will be automatically generated based on the information of the user’s common friends. The friends list will be categorized as per the location. Users can add or remove friends from this list.

But the fact is that users cannot delete the default lists. However, users can hide these default lists from the home page if needed.
