This wikiHow teaches you how to view your restricted friends list on Facebook, and edit who's on it, using an iPhone or iPad.
Steps
-
1Open Facebook in your mobile internet browser. Type facebook.com in your browser's address bar, and tap the blue Go button on your keyboard.
- You must use a browser to view and edit your restricted friends list. Facebook's mobile app doesn't let you do it.
- If you're not automatically signed in to Facebook, log in with your email or phone and your password.
-
2Request the desktop site in your browser. The mobile website doesn't let you view or edit your restricted list. Most mobile internet browsers will let you request and load the desktop version of your current page.
- On Safari, tap the icon at the bottom of your screen, and select Request Desktop Site on the bottom row.
- On Firefox or Chrome, tap the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of your screen, and select Request Desktop Site on the drop-down menu.
