When you restrict someone on Facebook, they can only see your public posts or posts you’ve shared with mutual friends. Restricted users won’t know they’re on the list, allowing you to maintain privacy without unfriending. They won't see posts shared only with your friends unless tagged. Messages, likes, and comments are still possible, but you'll have more control over your shared content.
