You would like know who is visiting your Facebook profile ? In other words, you want to know if it is possible to know which people have viewed or viewed your Facebook profile? And if it is possible, how to do it in 2024?
Can you see who is viewing your Facebook profile?
Facebook does not offer a tool to know who visits your profile. Third-party apps that claim to do this are scams. They simply generate a random list of your Facebook friends which is far from reality.
The answer is clearly indicated by Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg explain that:
“Third-party apps also do not provide this function. If you discover an application that claims to offer this possibility, we recommend that you report this application to us.
And if none of the apps are working, then how to do ? In this guide, we share with you the 4 ways to find out who viewed your FB account !
Know who viewed your Facebook profile (iOS app and Android )
To begin with, the first method we will show you to find out who visited your Facebook profile is to use professional mode.
Follow the steps below to enable professional mode and access this information.
- First, make sure your Facebook app is up to date to have access to pro mode.
- Next, open the Facebook app and go to your profile by clicking on your profile picture at the top left.
- On your profile, click on the three dots next to the button Edit.
- Choose Enable professional mode the menu.
It is important to know that activating professional mode will make your profile public. This means more people will be able to see your profile and posts.
- Next, tap the Activate button.
- After activating this mode, go back to your profile and you will see a new tab called See the tools. Click on it.
- Finally, take a good look at the section named Performance And click More statistics to see information about people who visited your profile in the last 28 days.
If you want to disable professional mode and make your profile private again, just go back to the three little dots next to the edit profile button and select Turn off professional mode.
Manually find out who viewed your profile (For desktop)
While researching the Net, we found a suggested method for identifying visitors to your Facebook profile by examining the source code of the page.
Intrigued by this idea, we decided to put it to the test.
Here are the steps we followed for this second method:
- We started by opening our Facebook profile on a desktop PC. This was the first step to access the technical information on our page.
- Then, by pressing Ctrl + U ( Command (⌘) + F on a Mac), we were able to view the source code of our Facebook profile. This code is usually used by developers and contains detailed information about the structure of the page.
- To continue, we used the search function in the source code by pressing Ctrl + F ( Command (⌘) + F on Mac) and typed “ BUDDY_ID“. This should, in theory, reveal unique identifiers to us.
- When we found numeric sequences after "{"BUDDY_ID"}", we attempted to associate them with specific profiles by inserting them into the URL www.facebook.com /Facebook profile ID. For example: www.facebook.com/100001251112988
- However, we quickly realized that these identifiers did not tell us who had viewed our profile. Rather, they seem to be related to other things on Facebook, like interactions or friend suggestions.
4) Post a public story on Facebook
This is the best way to check who actually visited your Facebook profile. Simply publish a public story to find out who is curious about your profile.
Now, if someone visits your profile, your story will automatically launch. So you can see the name of this person who is discreetly viewing your profile. This trick works even if this person is not on your friends list.
5) Analyze friend suggestions
The Facebook friend suggestions don't come out of nowhere. According to Facebook, friend suggestions are based on people who come to look at your profile.
Even if these people are not your friends, they could potentially have viewed your profile.
Finally, if you receive a friend suggestion from someone you are not friendly with, it is very likely that this person was suggested because they visited your profile.
Conclusion
Finally, we want to tell you that there are many tips and methods to see more or less visitors to your Facebook profile. But Facebook has not provided such a feature. So using an app and website cannot give you real data.
There is no way to see who actually viewed your Facebook profile and how many times that person visits your profile. Do not connect to unknown websites or Chrome or Firefox extensions.
Watch out for scams and scams Phishing that can steal your data.
When a person comes to your page, they are then offered to you in the "Do you know" section which is just below your profile and cover photo...as simple as that!
hello, this is a fake!! I am looking for something else. It happens that sometimes when I visit profiles (I'm a little curious), I have a little message that appears on the page "The person will be notified of your visit". I too would like to be notified of visits to my page. anyone know how we do it?
I've been the same for a few days, I sometimes get this message to tell me that the person has been notified, but before I didn't have that
I don't like people being warned!!
me, I want to know because I'm being chased by a rather dangerous guy (it's called a narcissistic pervert, and he's a deep twisted), yes it exists and I just want to block it because obviously he uses an anonymous profile, passing also by my FB friends apparently, of which he must be "friend" of one of them too, that motherfucker). I can't dislodge it. I've blocked my wall from all sides, but it continues apparently, per this friend...
Is there a way to see the profile of a person NOT a friend who comes to see my wall please??
Hello,
what is the form of the source code? Thank you in advance.
The IDs that are displayed are only the source code of the current page, they are simply the html elements of the friend suggestions or the friends at the top of the page quite simply; and these html tags contain as attribute the id of the profile in question for the javascript selectors allowing actions during hover but it is impossible that it is the id of people visiting your profile for the sole reason that the code- sources only displays the page in the form of code and that to know the visitors they would have to access the Facebook servers like what I ask anyone to try if they want to achieve this, this trick is a fake that has been circulating on Youtube for a while .
In any case I can already attest that some statements here are completely false
IF it was the list of friends connected, I did the test on a Saturday morning at 5 a.m. and it included all my friends, so absolutely false since there were none connected at that time of course
The cat list, already said, never used and 80% of my friends either, so this statement is also completely false
And it's not just the list of friends otherwise why would there be 6 times the same and the other only once?
And that I have every reason to believe that the one appearing there most often is also the one who should visit my profile the most.
Hello
Although I only found friends there, I have close to zero facebook activity and the security is rocked to death (google search prohibited among others), so logical. It's probably not a chat list because I've never used it and it's permanently disabled at home
It's not just the list of friends, since some appear there several times
It is in any case possible that it is the visits of my profile
Stay on the ultimate question can we really see who visits his profile if we have no facebook relationship of any kind with him?
I'm going to try the experience of 1 or 2 bogus profiles with which I won't stop visiting my profile for 2 or 3 days, and count the visits, I'll even take another IP with a VPN for that if I find the 2 bogus IDs will constitute indisputable proof of the veracity or not of this thing in my opinion
Hello, I think this is true! I just tested it and in the list I was able to find the ID of my singing teacher (with whom I never discuss), my ex of 7 months (with whom I no longer discuss either)… I believe that this is really the list of people who have visited my profile. I added an acquaintance some time ago and this morning his id was 7th in the list but tonight he is 2nd yet we never know spoken on Facebook because we usually speak on whatsApp…
In short, all this to say that if it is not the list of people who have visited my profile, it is not either the people with whom I discuss the most, nor those whose page I visit, nor those connected...
I have just tested it actually works and it is neither all our friends nor the chat because a person I do not know and to whom I have never spoken visited my page, after verification she has friends in common
Thanks for the tutorial 😀
I've been telling my friends for days that these apps are rigged and they don't believe…. well, now I'm going to show them this page which I hope isn't talking nonsense. 😉
pfffff it's just the list of friends :/
Hoax! the IDs listed are actually those of the friends that appear in the chat list, nothing to do with profile visits. Moreover, fb is not so stupid to deliver such information hidden in the source code of the page quite simply!
