This often leads to increased curiosity, prompting them to uncover whether the recipient's profile is truly inactive to read their messages.

Guide to Checking Hidden Facebook Profiles
Unveiling Hidden Facebook Nicknames
1. Detecting Hidden Facebook Nicknames on Desktop Browsers
Method 1: Checking in the Facebook Chat Box
By default, active Facebook users display a green dot icon, while accounts that have been online previously will have a specified time period of their last access. Pay attention to these notifications, particularly when you see friends' accounts showing online or accessed 1 minute ago. Most likely, these accounts have hidden their nicknames or disabled the chat feature on Facebook to operate incognito.
Method 2: Checking via Mobile Interface
To execute this method, first, you need to access the individual's Facebook profile page. The Facebook profile page typically appears as https://www.facebook.com/TheirProfile, and naturally, each person will have a different address.
You proceed by replacing the www in the above URL with m and then press Enter.
A new interface will appear, where you click on the Message section to send a message.
In the chat window, pay attention just below the Facebook account name where it says 'active 3 minutes ago'. With this indication, you'll know that person is currently online on Facebook but has chat turned off.
If the person is online but hiding their nickname, the line 'active 3 minutes ago' might appear as 'active now' or 'active 30 seconds ago'. Generally, it will show a very short period of time - just a few seconds. However, if the person is not online, the line 'active 3 minutes ago' will show the last time they accessed Facebook.
