How to tell if someone has searched for you on Facebook

Thinking you’re not famous enough to have a stalker or worrying that someone might stalk you if they found your personal information is pretty common. With everyone having a profile on the same social media platform, it becomes much easier to track down another person.

And while this makes it easier for us to stay in touch with old friends and relatives, it also raises the question of how safe we are from stalkers.

If you’re concerned about your privacy on Facebook or are simply paranoid about giving away so much information about yourself, here is an article that will walk you through how to check if someone has searched for you on Facebook and what steps you can take to protect your identity from strangers.

How to know if someone has searched for you on Facebook

The most obvious way to find out if someone has searched for you on Facebook is to check your own profile. Since you’ll already be logged into your account, all you have to do is click “Activity Log” and then “View as Guest”.

This will lead you to a page with your profile picture and information. Scroll down to the “View as Guest” section where you can select which types of information you want to view. This will show you any time a friend, follower, or stranger looked at your profile.

However, keep in mind that “View as Guest” will only show you when someone searched for you after you enabled this feature. If you don’t have access to “View as Guest”, there are a few other ways to find out if someone is trying to track you down online.

What does it mean when someone searches for you on Facebook?

You probably know that when a person searches for you on Facebook, they are shown your profile picture and (potentially) your name. If you have your profile set to public, they can also see the groups, friends, and publications you are a part of.

However, even if you don’t have your profile public, someone can still find you if they know your name. In this case, they will see your profile picture but there won’t be any information about you. All they will know is that there is a profile with your name, which is obviously not a big help.

When someone looks for you on Facebook, it means one of two things:

• They know you and want to see what else you share on your profile.
• They are stalking you and want to find out more about you.
