Who Sees My Facebook

Who Sees My Facebook: Back in March 2010, I wrote an article called Be careful of "That Viewed My Account" Application on Facebook.

Just what's strange is that despite the fact that the post clearly specifies that there are no applications offered that let you see who watched your account, much of its readers still upload remarks asking that can see their profile. And seldom does a week go by that I don't additionally receive that inquiry on the T4L Facebook page as well as through email.

Maybe people assume something has transformed in the last three years. So let me be clear: There is NO way for you to learn who has actually watched your profile on Facebook. Right here is Facebook's response to this concern in their Aid Center.



Every once in a while I likewise obtain a comment from somebody that they have proof that Facebook does give this performance due to the fact that they took a look at someone's account and then obtained a message or good friend request from that individual. I never ever see the specific evidence they're referring to, so I can not discuss what they think they're seeing. I believe it's feasible that if you check out someone's account a whole lot, your name will appear a whole lot more in position like the ticker or mutual friends' listings, however that's an unlike revealing someone precisely that has actually been looking at their account, when and also how commonly.

Now, I'm the very first individual to be negative about any insurance claim Facebook makes regarding caring about their users' privacy (check out my current series on Facebook and Privacy). However I really think Facebook in this case and assume they will certainly never ever allow this capability-- due to the fact that it would not remain in their benefit to do so.

I think there are great deals of people who make use of Facebook primarily to look at profiles as well as pictures of other individuals, especially 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 permitting people to see that had had a look at their profiles, a great deal of people could effectively delete their profiles and quit utilizing FB entirely because they do not intend to be caught stalking. And considering that there appears to be some proof that Facebook is already beginning to lose customers, especially among the younger collection, they're not going to do something that will drive more individuals away when that feature has no certain worth to the firm itself.

So along with re-confirming that you can not see who saw your profile, please consider this article an additional cautioning never to click any link that states it will assist you do simply that. If you do, you're opening the door to having your account hacked and also as a result encountering actual threats to your personal privacy.
