How to See Who Viewed Your Facebook Profile?

Over the internet, there are many websites that provide information about how to see who viewed your Facebook profile. Even, there are also several apps that claim that they can show a list of Facebook users who viewed your Facebook profile. Honestly, we cannot guarantee whether the ways are working or not.

An important thing you need to note is Facebook does not let Facebook users see who views their Facebook profile. To prove it, now you can open your Facebook account. Then, go to the Facebook Help Center, and search for who viewed your Facebook profile. There you can find a statement that Facebook does not let people track who views their Facebook profile. In addition, Facebook said that the third-party apps also cannot provide this functionality. If you find any third-party app that claims to offer this ability, Facebook highly suggests you report the app.

While Facebook does not have a feature to allow people track who views their Facebook profile, there are many Facebook users who are still trying other ways to see who views their Facebook profile. Over the internet, we have collected some methods to know who viewed your Facebook profile.

Here are two methods that claim can show how to see who views your Facebook Profile:

Method 1: Perform a Privacy Checkup Feature (Only for iOS users)

Previously, Facebook allowed Facebook users to see the number of profile views. Now, there is rumor that Facebook allows the users to see who views their Facebook profile by using the “Privacy Checkup” feature. With this feature, you will be able to check who viewed your Facebook profile in the past 30 days and a past day. Also, with this feature, you can find out who has viewed your most recent posts. However, the feature is just available on iOS. If you are an iOS user, you may want to try this step.

Here is a way:

Firstly, launch the Facebook app on your iPhone.
After that, login to your account by entering your username and password.
Then, you can choose the main dropdown menu (the three lines) in the top corner of the app.
Afterwards, you can navigate to the “Privacy Shortcuts.”
Please choose the “Who viewed my profile?” option.

After you perform the steps above, then you can find out the answer whether its way is work or not. In fact, it is not clear if this way is only a test and if this way will be available on Android too.

Method 2: Check the InitialChatFriendsList

Another method is by checking the InitialChatFriendsList. It will allow you to see who views your Facebook profile. Now, you can try to follow these steps below.

At the first step, Open Facebook and log in to your Facebook account.
After that, click on your name to see your Facebook profile page.
Then, you can right-click on the page, and click View Page Source. Alternatively, to access the page source, you can also use the Ctrl+U keyboard shortcut.
In this step, press the Ctrl+F on your keyboard. This will allow you to search for certain text on the current web page. Please type in InitialChatFriendsList to get a list of profile number codes that represent the viewer of your Facebook profile.
Once you have a list of profile number codes, then you can start to find out who these profile number codes represent.
To find out the owner of the profile, you must copy one of the profile number codes to your clipboard.
Afterwards, you need to click in your browser’s address bar, and paste the profile number code into the Facebook URL. For instance, if the profile number code was 12345678910, you must enter the URL facebook.com/12345678910.
