Every time you post a status update, photo or video, you can choose who can see it.

Use the menu at the top of your post to choose your audience.

Most people want to share things with their friends.

You can also choose to share publicly or with a specific group of people.

To let anyone see something you post, including strangers and people who aren’t on Facebook, choose Public.

If you accidentally share a post with the wrong audience, you can always change it.

Go to the post and open the menu in the upper right corner.

Choose which groups of people you want to be able to see the post.

If you frequently customize the audience for your posts, you might like using lists.

Lists help you organize groups of friends.

You can choose from Close Friends, Acquaintances and Restricted, or create your own custom lists.

To add friends to a new list, log into Facebook on a computer. Then go to the Friends section on the left side of your News Feed and click More.

To create a custom list, click Create List, then name your list and add friends.

To add friends to an existing list, click See All Friends.

Next to a friend’s name, use the menu to select the list you want to add them to.
