How to see hidden friends on Facebook?

Did you know you can see hidden friends on Facebook? If you didn’t know it already, then this guide will be of great use to you. In this guide, you will get to know how you can see hidden friends on Facebook.

On Facebook, it is possible for the user to lock or hide their friend list to prevent anyone, including their own friends, from viewing it. Most people prefer to keep their friends and activities hidden on social media, which is why they limit who can see their friends and activities.

There are friend lists that aren’t available for public viewing so you might not be able to see your friend’s friends if they’ve hidden them for privacy or security reasons. However, there is a way to see hidden friends.

Steps to see hidden friends on Facebook

Hidden friends

Method 1: Identify mutual friends on Facebook to spot hidden friends

  • Visit the Facebook profile of the account whose friends you want to see
  • Click on any post or image the user has uploaded and look for “fbid=” and then copy its value
  • Copy https://www.facebook.com/search/[number]/friends and then paste it into a new tab
  • Enter the number that you copied earlier between search/[number]/friends
  • Press Enter and a list of the person’s friends will appear

Method 2: See hidden friends via the Facebook feature

This method will involve searching for keywords related to the person who has something in common with the person you’re looking to locate. In some situations, the keyword might be the company name and the location where the person works.

For instance, if you are looking for David who works at Microsoft, you should just type “David Microsoft” in the search engine. From there, you’ll be able to locate the friend you are looking for by seeking all the friends who fall under that category.

Method 3: See hidden friends using Social Revealer

  • Install “Social Revealer” by heading over to the Google Chrome web store
  • View the hidden friend list of the person whose profile you want to view
  • Open Google Chrome and then click on the “Social Revealer” extension
  • Once it is opened, you will get the “See Friends” button
  • A new tab will open up with the friend list for the Facebook user
