does facebook show who viewed your profile

Facebook does not provide a feature that allows users to see who has viewed their profile. Officially, Facebook's policy explicitly states that users cannot track who visits their profile

. While some indirect indicators might hint at profile visitors-such as people appearing in your "People You May Know" list without mutual friends, or friends who frequently like or interact with your posts-these are not definitive proof of profile views and should be seen as mere clues rather than confirmation

. In the past, there were brief periods or rumors about such features, but these have been discontinued or debunked. Additionally, third-party apps or browser extensions claiming to show who viewed your Facebook profile are unreliable and potentially dangerous, often being scams or phishing attempts that can compromise your account security

. The only exception is Facebook Stories, where you can see who has viewed your story within the 24-hour window it is active. This is the only part of Facebook where viewer information is accessible to users

. In summary:

  • Facebook does not allow users to see who viewed their profile.
  • Indirect clues exist but are not reliable.
  • Third-party apps claiming to provide this info are unsafe.
  • You can see who viewed your Facebook Stories, but not your profile.

This privacy measure protects both your information and that of other users on the platform
