Facebook Question

I went to someone's page on fb and it's showing on their page that we're still friends, but their timeline doesn't show any of their posts, only the date they joined fb. i know you can edit your timeline and remove certain posts, but how do you actually block all posts without removing the entire timeline?

    Even though you are on their list it's possible they have changed the friends priority so only selected people can see all the posts, I've done that on my pages. So unless I mark a comment 'public' on my timeline not everyone can see it.

    You can make your posts on Facebook visible to either all, a group of friends, family or all except (insert names of people you don't want to be able to view).

    But as far as I can see, you have to do that with every single post you write?

    No, you can use Facebook's privacy checkup to set all your previous posts to private/certain friend groups only

    You would then have a customs setting on default for all future posts.
