To restrict someone on Facebook without blocking them, go to their profile, click on the three dots in the bottom-right corner of their cover photo, and select 'Friends.' Choose 'Edit Friend List,' then select 'Restricted.' This limits what they can see without notifying them, ensuring they only view posts you make public. It's a useful way to manage interactions discreetly.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What happens when I restrict someone on Facebook? When you restrict someone on Facebook, they can only see the posts you make public and won't be notified about the change, allowing you to limit their access discreetly.
  2. How is restricting different from blocking on Facebook? Restricting limits what a person can see on your profile without removing them as a friend or notifying them, while blocking removes them completely from your friends list and restricts all interactions.
