Understanding Facebook Highlights

Highlights are visible to anyone who can see the original album or post. So, if you've set an album to public, anyone can view its highlights. If it's set to friends, only your friends can see them.

However, there's a catch. Even if you've set an album to friends, anyone can still see the highlights if they're tagged in the photos or videos. This is because tagged content is visible to anyone, not just your friends.

Privacy Settings: The Key to Control

To control who can see your highlights, you need to understand and adjust the privacy settings of the albums they're pulled from. Here's how:

1. **Album Privacy**: You can set an album's privacy to 'Only Me', 'Friends', 'Friends except...', 'Specific Friends', or 'Public'.

Tagged Content: A Word of Caution

As mentioned earlier, tagged content can be seen by anyone, regardless of the album's privacy settings. So, if you're tagged in a photo or video in a 'Friends only' album, anyone can still see it in the highlights.

To manage this, you can adjust your tagging preferences. Go to your Facebook settings, click on 'Timeline and Tagging', and set 'Who can post on your timeline?' to 'Only Me'. This way, you'll need to approve tags before they appear on your timeline and in highlights.

In short, no. Close friends highlights are only visible to the people you've added to your 'Close Friends' list. Even if they're tagged in the photos or videos, the highlights will only be visible to them and you.

To add or remove people from your 'Close Friends' list, go to your Facebook profile, click on 'Friends', then 'Close Friends'. Here, you can manage your list and control who can see your close friends highlights.
