Friends only watch tab has been removed. Undocumented change, potentially a bug - was a really great feature!

Just bringing light to the removal of the friends only checkbox which was in the watch tab. As the name suggests, it showed an overview of your friend's games and allow spectating them. Was a great feature as it let me and my friends spectate each other's games while appearing offline in steam. Was also very useful to see game progress at a glance without needing to go into spectating.

There was a common misconception that this checkbox didn't work but it worked just fine you just have to scroll over 2 pages to get past the featured games.

Please bring back this great feature!
 
You can still watch your friend's games by going into the "Play with Friends" menu and clicking on their names and clicking watch. Also sometimes the friends only checkbox still didn't work even after going past the featured pages, at least that was my experience with it.
