How to Check Who Views Your Facebook Profile

This article provides a guide on how to guess who frequently visits your personal Facebook profile. However, it's important to note that there is no guaranteed way to know exactly who has visited your profile; therefore, any service or method claiming to do so is likely unreliable or fraudulent. Another point to remember is that since the introduction of the News Feed algorithm, viewing someone else's profile has become less common than it used to be.

Open Facebook by visiting https://www.facebook.com/ (on a computer) or tapping the Facebook app (on a phone). This will open the News Feed if you are already logged into Facebook. If you are not logged in on a computer, you will first need to enter your email address and Facebook password in the fields at the top right of the page, then click Log In. On a phone, you can log in by entering your email address and password when prompted and selecting Log In.

Click on your name tab at the top right corner of the Facebook page. This action will take you to your personal Facebook profile. On a phone, tap ☰ at the bottom right corner of the screen for iPhone or the top right corner for Android.

Click on Friends near the top of your profile to view your Facebook friends list. On a phone, select Friends from the menu.

Look at the first few friends displayed in the list. The top 10-20 friends are those who interact with you the most, meaning they are likely to visit your profile more frequently than others.

Examine each friend in the top group of the list. Friends with a few hundred connections are more likely to visit your profile than those with thousands of friends; this helps narrow down the list of potential profile viewers. If someone with minimal interaction appears in the top group, they might be visiting your profile often.

Check friend suggestions. If Facebook recommends someone as a friend, the suggested person might be connected to someone who frequently visits your profile.

Open Facebook by visiting https://www.facebook.com/ (on a computer) or tapping the Facebook app (on a phone). This will open the News Feed if you are already logged into Facebook. If you are not logged in on a computer, enter your email address and Facebook password in the fields at the top right of the page, then click Log In. On a phone, log in by entering your email address and password when prompted and selecting Log In.

Select the status update box. Click or tap on the box near the top of the News Feed. This box usually displays the text "What's on your mind?".

Compose a neutral status update. This could be a joke, a piece of information, or a general statement, but avoid topics that might provoke strong reactions from friends. Avoid sensitive issues or divisive topics. Do not tag anyone in the status, as this could skew the test results.

Click on Post at the bottom right corner of the status window. On a phone, tap Share at the top right corner of the screen.

Wait to see who likes your status. After some time (for example, 8 hours), check who has liked your post. Additionally, see who has commented on your status (if any).

Repeat this testing method multiple times. You will need to try at least 5 different status updates to compare the results.

Compare the number of likes on your status updates. If you notice familiar names liking and/or commenting on your Facebook posts, they might be the ones visiting your profile more frequently than others on your friends list.
