This wikiHow teaches you how to see a list of your closest Facebook friends. The people with whom you interact most often (via likes, messages, and comments) and those for whom you regularly search typically show up at the top of your friends list. Keep in mind that Facebook uses a secret algorithm to determine who your best friends are, and the algorithm changes often.

Things You Should Know

  • On mobile, go to the Facebook app and tap ☰ > Find Friends > All Friends . The names at the top are the people you are most connected to.
  • On a computer, go to Facebook and open your profile. Go to Friends . The top 5-10 people are who you are most connected to.

    Tap the Facebook app icon, which is a blue square containing a white "f." This will load your News Feed if you're already logged in.
    • If you aren't already logged in, enter your email address and password before continuing.

    It's the three horizontal lines at either the bottom-right corner of the screen (iPhone/iPad) or the top-right corner of the screen (Android). you can also look for "Friends" button on top and click that instead.

    You can find this option on the top of the page.

    Anyone appearing near the top of the page is someone that Facebook has determined to be one of your best friends.
    • People further down the list are friends with whom you haven't interacted as much as people near the top.
    • A good rule of thumb is to consider the top five to ten people in this list as the people to whom you are most connected. This takes into account your interactions with them, but not necessarily their interactions with you.

    Anyone appearing near the top of the list is someone whom Facebook considers to be one of your best friends (e.g., someone to whom you're strongly connected).
    • Consider the top five to ten people in this list to be the people to whom you're most connected. This takes into account your interactions with them, but not necessarily their interactions with you.
    • The further down on the list someone is, the less you've interacted with them; the exception to this is if you add someone and immediately begin talking to them or viewing their posts.

    How do I hide when I'm active and not active on Facebook?
    Community Answer
    Turn chat off (for everyone or just the people you don't want be seen by). Keep in mind that if you post something people will see you're online, unless you hide your posts from them. Make sure to turn off all notifications/automatic posts for any games you play.

    How do I tell who blocked me on Facebook?

    You can try asking your friends to see if they know, but there's no way to tell through the site.

      Tips

      • If you've added someone to the "Close Friends" list on Facebook, they will automatically appear closer to the top of the list than they might if you hadn't added them to "Close Friends".
        Thanks
      • Do not install any Facebook app that claims to track who visits your profile. Facebook has not revealed any way to track who views your profile, so any app claiming otherwise is at best spam and at worst a virus.
