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.
How to Find Your FB Top Friends
- 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.

Scroll down and tap Find Friends and then click All Friends. You can find this option on the top of the page.
4
Review your list of friends. 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.

Find your closest friends at the top of the list. 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?

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.

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.
