Tips

  • You can add friends to your lists from the News Feed as well. Simply select a friend's name, wait for the pop-up box with their information in it to appear, select the Friends box, click Add to another list, and click the list you want to add them to.
  • While you can't create friends lists in the Facebook mobile app, you can use any friends lists you create in the mobile app once they've been created.

Warnings

  • When you select a friends list to use on a post, it will become the default for subsequent posts until you change it back.
