Restricted friends on Facebook can only see content you’ve shared publicly or posts you’ve tagged them in. To add someone to your restricted list, visit their profile, click on the ‘Friends’ button, and select ‘Add to another list,’ then choose ‘Restricted.’ This is useful for friends you’ve added but don’t want to share everything with.
