How can you see whos looking at your facebook?

[Joy M]

I keep getting request on Facebook to join groups to find out "who is looking at your profile". I dont know if those things really work, so I dont bother joining them. But, is there anyway you really CAN check whos looking at your facebook? or does one of these groups REALLY work that someone knows of?

You can't. But you can change settings for only friends can see yourr profile. Or friends of friends.

no you cannot see who's checking your profile out on facebook, sorry...that is just a BIG no no in facebook.

[Lets.Mango]

The only thing groups can do is show their own content, ie. they cannot access other's profiles, etc. I've seen those groups before, and it is obviously fake.


Nothing, including applications, are allowed to track views, as 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.
