Who See My Facebook

Who See My Facebook: Back in March 2010, I created a blog post called Be cautious of "Who Seen My Account" Application on Facebook. It's still among my top five saw articles, with greater than 4,400 web page sights in the past month alone. So it's clearly a topic of fantastic rate of interest to people.

Who See My Facebook


What's strange is that even though the write-up clearly states that there are no applications available that let you see who viewed your profile, a lot of its readers still post comments asking that can view their account. And also seldom does a week go by that I do not likewise get that concern on the T4L Facebook page as well as using e-mail.

Maybe individuals believe something has actually altered in the last 3 years. So let me be clear: There is NO way for you to figure out who has actually seen your profile on Facebook. Here is Facebook's response to this question in their Aid Center.



Every now and then I likewise obtain a remark from a person that they have evidence that Facebook does provide this capability due to the fact that they looked at someone's profile and then got a message or buddy request from that person. I never see the particular proof they're referring to, so I can't discuss what they believe they're seeing. I think it's possible that if you look at a person's account a whole lot, your name will certainly turn up a great deal a lot more in position like the ticker or mutual friends' listings, however that's a far cry from revealing someone exactly who has been checking out their profile, when and just how often.

Currently, I'm the first person to be negative about any type of insurance claim Facebook makes concerning caring about their users' privacy (check out my current collection on Facebook and also Personal Privacy). However I really think Facebook in this instance and assume they will certainly never allow this functionality-- due to the fact that it would not remain in their best interest to do so.

I think there are lots of people that make use of Facebook mainly to take a look at accounts and pictures of other people, specifically those they're interested in or have broken up with or that are currently seeing people they have actually broken up with. Currently, if Facebook were to start allowing individuals to see that had looked into their profiles, a great deal of individuals may extremely well remove their accounts and quit making use of FB completely because they do not want to be caught tracking. And given that there appears to be some evidence that Facebook is already beginning to shed users, particularly among the younger collection, they're not going to do something that will certainly drive even more individuals away when that function has no particular worth to the company itself.

So along with re-confirming that you could not see who saw your account, please consider this post one more alerting never ever to click on any type of web link that says it will certainly assist you do just that. If you do, you're opening the door to having your account hacked as well as for that reason encountering actual hazards to your privacy.
