Who Sees My Facebook Profile

Who Sees My Facebook Profile: Back in March 2010, I created a post called Be careful of "That Seen My Account" Apps on Facebook. It's still among my top 5 watched messages, with more than 4,400 web page sights in the past month alone. So it's undoubtedly a topic of excellent rate of interest to people.

Who Sees My Facebook Profile


Exactly what's weird is that although the write-up plainly mentions that there are no applications readily available that let you see who watched your profile, a lot of its viewers still upload comments asking who could watch their profile. And also hardly ever does a week go by that I don't likewise get that inquiry on the T4L Facebook page and using email.

Possibly people believe something has actually transformed in the last 3 years. So let me be clear: There is NO OTHER WAY for you to learn who has actually viewed your account on Facebook. Below is Facebook's response to this inquiry in their Aid Center.



Every once in a while I likewise obtain a remark from someone that they have proof that Facebook does offer this functionality because they checked out a person's profile and after that got a message or buddy request from that individual. I never see the particular evidence they're referring to, so I can't comment on what they think they're seeing. I believe it's feasible that if you check out somebody's account a great deal, your name will certainly turn up a great deal a lot more in places like the ticker or mutual friends' checklists, yet that's a far cry from revealing a person precisely that has been looking at their profile, when and just how commonly.

Now, I'm the first person to be negative regarding any kind of insurance claim Facebook makes regarding caring about their users' personal privacy (check out my current collection on Facebook and Privacy). However I actually believe Facebook in this situation as well as think they will never permit this capability-- since it would not be in their best interest to do so.

I believe there are lots of individuals who make use of Facebook primarily to check out profiles and also images of other individuals, specifically those they're interested in or have actually broken up with or that are presently seeing people they have actually broken up with. Now, if Facebook were to start enabling individuals to see that had checked out their profiles, a great deal of individuals might very well remove their accounts as well as quit using FB altogether since they don't wish to be captured stalking. And also given that there appears to be some evidence that Facebook is already beginning to shed users, specifically amongst the younger collection, they're not going to do something that will drive even more people away when that attribute has no particular worth to the company itself.

So along with re-confirming that you could not see that saw your account, please consider this blog post another warning never to click on any type of link that states it will help you do just that. If you do, you're opening the door to having your account hacked and also therefore encountering actual risks to your privacy.
