Hi Keith,
Well I have selected the ‘hide updates’ option ont he privacy settings of my profile.
However,I see my friends’ updates on my home page.This is so because they have selected the ‘show updates’ option in their respective profiles.
So it is not working both ways.
Pls suggest some other way to control it as settings at my end are not making any difference.
Thanks

@Anila I think it works both ways, if you block other people’s updates by showing up on your page it is reciprocal with your updates not showing up on others pages.

I somehow do not like this feature as it does not give me the flexibility to prevent my friends’ updates from being reflected on my homepage.
The privacy settings only allow me to hide my updates from my friends.
I think this feature should be enhanced by extending the control both ways.
