View hidden Facebook Friends

Facebook allows you to control privacy for pretty much everything. One of those settings is to change to visibility of your friends list, but is not of much use. All you need to know is one of their friends

Like I mentioned in my previous post, you can get common information about any two Facebook profiles. You can get information about mutual friends this way too. Since Facebook does not hide information on this page about mutual friends, even though they have selected to hide their friend list, you can almost get a list of their friends.

First go to the URL: https://www.facebook.com/person?and=FriendOfPerson
and check out the mutual friends page. Now you can be sure that all these people are friends with person(whose friend list you wanted to check out). Since you now have a list of friends with person, you can repeat this process with them to pretty much get all their friends.

View friendship between two people

Sometimes you remember some conversations happening on facebook but its really difficult to go back on your feed to search for it. Here is a simple way to search it by simply checking out the conversations between people, all you need is their link to facebook profiles.

Say link to profile of person 1 is : https://www.facebook.com/person1
Similarly link to profile of person 2 is : https://www.facebook.com/person2
Then all you need to do is visit url : https://www.facebook.com/person1?and=person2

If they do not have a username :
Say link to profile of person 1 is : https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=111111
Similarly link to profile of person 2 is : https://www.facebook.com/person2
Then all you need to do is visit url : https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=111111&and=person2

On this page you can get their common likes, photos in which both are tagged, posts on each other's timeline, coming up events in which both are going and the date of their friendship.

The two people do not need to be friends or even in the friends network, but you can get a summary of their common interests.
