There is no official or reliable way to see who has viewed your Facebook profile. Facebook does not provide users with this information to protect privacy, and any apps or methods claiming to show who viewed your profile are either scams or inaccurate
Key points:
- Facebook's official stance: Facebook does not allow users to track who visits their profile, and there are no legitimate features or tools for this purpose
- Third-party apps: Apps claiming to show profile viewers are unreliable and often attempts to steal personal data or compromise your account
- Indirect clues: You might infer some visitors by looking at:
- People who frequently like or comment on your posts.
- The "People You May Know" section, which sometimes suggests people who have searched for you or share mutual connections
- Page source method (Buddy ID hack): Some users try to inspect Facebook’s page source code for "BUDDY_ID" entries to guess who visits their profile. However, this method is not confirmed to be accurate and Facebook has labeled it a hoax
- Professional mode insights: Facebook’s professional mode can show how many people visited your profile but not their identities
Summary
You cannot directly see who views your Facebook profile. Attempts to do so via unofficial apps or hacks are risky and unreliable. The best you can do is observe indirect interactions like comments, likes, or friend suggestions that might hint at profile visitors
. Avoid downloading any third-party apps promising to reveal profile viewers, as they may compromise your security
