Hello.
Today I went on someones facebook who im not friends with and then when i just signed into facebook now they had added me as a friend. Can people see if you have viewed there profile some how? I thought facebook was private ?

No it's not possible to see who viewed your profile on Facebook, it's part of their privacy contract with the user.

The Facebook terms do not allow this to happen (for anything, including, but not limited to, pictures, videos, and the profile page itself). ie. Facebook does not allow users to track profile views or see statistics on how often a particular piece of content has been viewed and by whom.

There have been several applications that have claimed to do this in the past, but they either didn't work or were removed by facebook for violating its privacy terms.

Third party developers, however, may offer applications that provide some of this functionality, subject to the following terms:


1. Applications cannot track profile views for users who simply visit another person's profile. Facebook has made this technically impossible.
2. In order to be tracked by an application, you must explicitly agree to allow the application to access your information.
3. Adding an application that provides this functionality is purely optional. If you do not want to participate, please do not add the application to your account.

Unlike myspace, Facebook's philosphy is to let users view what they want without others knowing what they viewed.

So you can check out that cute guy/girl with no worries about them finding out, but unfortunately you will not be able to find out who has been viewing yours.

Nope, you can't see who has viewed your profile, pictures, or anything else.

No they can't, but there are scams that say "SEE WHO VIEWS YOUR PROFILE!" Don't click on that. Hop i helped (:

No I don't think it's possible to see who viewed your profile, so it must have been coquinidence or you did something. The only thing I have seen on people viewing who saw your Facebook is people trying to spread virus's on computers.

People can't! Facebook is totally private, also you can change your privacy options on your account but this depends on u. Wink

No Its Not possible to find out who views who probably at the same time you were looking at there profile they were looking at yours
