The notion of letting users know who checked out their profiles isn’t new to the world. LinkedIn has been giving this information to its premium users for years, and that is enough to say that every app collects this data. Now, the fact that Facebook has already given this information in the past makes it even more plausible to check who viewed your profile on Facebook today.  Many of you might disagree with this fact. But stick with me a little, and we will be on the same page. In 2018, when the Cambridge Analytics scandal happened, Facebook did allow people to see who viewed their profiles. But this ability was only granted to the iOS app of Facebook, which was only downloaded on iPhones. However, after the scandal, Facebook took those options back in an attempt for redemption.   This makes us wonder whether there is a way to find out who viewed our Facebook profiles or not. You might be overflowing with curiosity, so quickly scroll and find out everything yourselves.

Can You See Who Viewed Your Facebook Profile?

Facebook says, “No, Facebook doesn’t let people track who views their profile. Third-party apps are also unable to provide this functionality.”  So, officially you cannot tell who viewed your Facebook profile. However, we all know that’s not the end of the world. Facebook has long ago claimed to be a “secure” social media platform, and let’s keep rolling our eyes at that.  Facebook has leaked data of 533 million people from 106 nations, and you know what’s the best part? All of this data was legit published on a hacking forum!  That’s why we are positive that you can view who viewed your Facebook profile. You can also see someone’s new friends on Facebook or who they removed from their profile totally undetectable Also, read 5 Best Facebook Email Finder Ways and Tools | Find Mails Easily

Post Tracking Links To See Who Viewed Your Facebook Profile

Let’s get one thing straight. We are here to try everything that lets you know, one way or another, who viewed your Facebook profile. Now other methods might not be viable, but this will be. Moreover, doing this method will also be a little smart.  You can post links on your Facebook profile and that link will actually track the IP addresses of all the people who clicked on that link. Don’t tell me that’s not smart! All you need to do is to set up the link using Grabify and then share the link on your Facebook. Obviously, if someone is stalking you, s/he will click on that link out of curiosity. Little do they know, it will give you their IP address and you can find their location using their IP addresses. Now, you have to think smartly at every step. If you are here to find out about your ex then you might want to link an article that makes them click on that post. You can choose https://pathofex.com/how-to-know-if-a-girl-likes-you/ or https://pathofex.com/ways-to-get-over-a-girl/. Both these articles, “How to know if a girl likes you?” and “Ways to get over a girl?” are very interesting for everyone, so most probably they will click.  Now that you have decided on which article are you going to link, let’s start with the steps-

  1. Copy the link of the article you want to post on Facebook, it could be any funny article from Path of EX. 
  2. Visit Grabify and paste the copied URL in the text field. 
  3. Click on “Create URL”.
  4. Tap “I agree & Create URL”.
  5. Copy or note down the “Access Link”.You will track down all the IP addresses using this Access Link later. 
  6. Click on “View Other Shorteners”.You don’t want your profile visitors to know that you are using Grabify. So, use a link shortener so that they don’t know that you are tracking them. 
  7. Select any URL shortener. I selected “cutt.ly” here.
  8. Now, copy the shortened URL and paste it into your Facebook post.  Make sure you write an intriguing caption that makes them wonder and they click on the link with curiosity.  After some time, you can check the IP addresses using the Access Link.  Note: IP addresses are not the same all the time. If the person viewing your profile is using VPN or proxy then their IP address will be different and hence the location will not be their original one.   Also, read How To Know If Someone Blocked You On Facebook | 3 Basic Steps

What Should I Do If None of the Methods Worked?

Even after attempting all these methods to see who viewed your Facebook profile, there is a chance that you won’t be impressed with the results. Or you can be someone who doesn’t want to take a chance. In that case, you can simply monitor your posts.  A very good option would be to open your Facebook profile for the public and post stories. That way you can see who viewed your story on Facebook. Moreover, if you are suspicious that someone from your friends’ list might be checking your Facebook profile, then you can make a plan. Start by posting your pictures regularly. Take about 5 to 10 posts and simply monitor who likes your posts and how often.
