Facebook does not officially provide a feature to see exactly who has viewed your profile. The platform prioritizes user privacy and does not allow users to track casual profile visitors. Here are the current key points and methods related to this question:

  1. No Direct Profile Viewer List from Facebook: Facebook explicitly does not let users see who has viewed their profile. This is to protect the privacy of users and to avoid stalking or misuse. There is no official feature or app endorsed by Facebook that shows a list of profile visitors.
  1. Professional Mode Insights: By switching your Facebook profile to "Professional Mode" (available on the Facebook app), you gain access to a dashboard with insights. This shows some data about profile interactions such as who reached your posts and some engagement statistics. While it may show follower counts and some visitor data, it does not show a detailed list of every profile viewer. You can activate this mode in your profile settings and check the insights from there.
  1. Indirect Indicators: Sometimes, you can guess who has been visiting your profile based on social interactions—such as friends who frequently like or comment on your posts or people appearing in your "People You May Know" section who may share mutual contacts or locations. Friend list order can also sometimes reveal interaction patterns. However, these are just indicators, not a concrete list of profile viewers.
  1. Page Source Method (Unreliable): Some users report a trick on desktop browsers by viewing page source (HTML code) and searching for specific tags to find IDs of people who might have recently interacted or chatted. This method is technical, unofficial, and may not work reliably in 2025 or give accurate viewer info.
  1. Third-Party Apps & Tools: Be cautious about any third-party app or service claiming to reveal who has viewed your profile. Most are scams or violate Facebook rules and can compromise your privacy and security.

In summary, while there are some insights and indirect ways to guess who might be interested in your profile, Facebook does not allow you to see a complete list of people who visit your profile. The "Professional Mode" feature comes closest to providing some insight, but it does not identify every individual viewer. Always be cautious of unofficial tools claiming otherwise. If you want to monitor profile engagement, enabling professional mode and checking your profile insights regularly is the best available approach in 2025.
