Can you see who views your Facebook profile?

Yes, you can. If you’re logged into your account, all you have to do is click on the three dots beside the “View as” option mentioned above and select “View Activity Log”. The page that appears will have a list of everyone who has logged into your account, including the date and time they accessed your profile.

In the “Who can see this?” section, you can choose to make this information visible only to you, or you can make it visible to the public. If you want to report any suspicious activity, you can click “Report” beside the relevant entry in the list.

View who’s viewing your Facebook profile

Every time a friend or stranger logs into your account and views your profile, you’ll see it logged in the “Activity Log” section of your Facebook profile. If you visit the Security and Privacy settings page, the “Who can see my future posts?” section has a “View as” setting.

This allows you to check who has logged into your account from any computer on the internet, even if they deleted the log after. This is especially important for parents whose children use Facebook, as it means you can see if your child’s friends are looking at their photos or posts, and you can tell your child what to watch out for.

Why is seeing who views your profile important?

Facebook is a public forum and there’s a lot of debate about how much privacy you should expect on it, but knowing who views your profile can help you decide what you’re comfortable sharing. If you work for a government agency or non-profit organization, for example, you might not want to share your political views.

If you’re applying for a job, you might not want your current employer to have access to your posts. If you have friends or family members who have mental health issues, you might not want to share certain facts or photos that they might find upsetting.

If you are a parent, you might not want your child’s school classmates to see their birthdays or religious or political views. Knowing who views your profile can help you decide what to include and what to leave out.

How to see who views your Facebook profile

To see who has viewed your profile, start by logging into your Facebook account. Once you’re on your home page, click on the three dots in the upper-right corner of the screen. From the drop-down menu that appears, select “View as”.

This will take you to a page where you can see the IP addresses of all the computers that have logged into your account. You can also select “View Activity Log” from this page to see a list of other devices that have logged into your account, along with the dates and times they did so.

See the date and time of when you were viewed

If you want to see the exact date and time when you were viewed, click the “Logged in” heading below the date and time. The next column from the right will show the IP addresses of the computers that logged into your account. If you click the IP address, it will show you the exact date and time that computer logged into your account.

See which of your friends viewed your profile

Facebook also allows you to see which of your friends have logged into your profile. To do so, simply click on “Activity Log”. You will see a list of all the people who’ve logged into your account. To see which of your friends viewed your profile, you can select the appropriate date from the drop-down menu beside the name.

Detect which apps view your profile

Apps are created by third-party developers and allow you to do a number of things, such as play games or shop with your friends. Sometimes these apps ask for permission to view your profile. But many people don’t realize that when they give an app permission, it can see all the information on their profile, not just the things they’ve agreed to let it see.

These are called “third-party apps” in Facebook’s language. When you click on the “Activity Log” page, you can select “Third-party apps” from the drop-down menu. This will show you any third-party apps that have accessed your profile. You can then click on each one and see when it last logged into your profile.

The above article has outlined how to view who has viewed your Facebook profile. It has also explained why this is important, and how to log in to your account to view this information.
