When you hide a friend: 

 

• You can still receive chat messages from them.
• They won't appear in your friends list, and will be moved to the Hidden users list.
• You'll see their profile and Timeline updates.

 

Hiding a user doesn't remove them completely as a friend or friend recommendation. To do so, please see the following article:
 

Removing friends

 

To hide a friend:

1. Tap the Friends tab.

1. Go to More > Settings.

2. Tap Friends.
3. Tap Hidden users.

Tap here to go to the Settings menu from your smartphone.
