Secondly, friends setting, here the page can be accessed only by the friends of the user. Thirdly, custom setting, here the user is provided a granular approach when it comes to privacy settings of the user. The custom setting can be experimented with by the user. The custom setting helps you to divide the contacts into various groups depending on work, school and college. This is a very useful feature as it helps the user to know the contacts he has.
