Is the Facebook profile spy actually real?

[M.A.]

Is there actually something on facebook that allows you to see who has viewed your profile? I have tried a few links, but I don't want to do a stupid IQ test or win a lap top that involves me giving out my cell phone number.

NO ITS NOT I ALREADY TOLD YOU THIS
that violates facebook's privacy policy. all it does it use your friends and recommended friends and says they were on your profile so it seems real.

Negative. That would be in violation of your privacy on Facebook. I'm smart enough not to click on it, so I really don't know exactly what it is, but I assume it's either a scam for money, a pointless nothing website, or most likely, a trojan.

And honestly, if it WERE legit, do you really think it would be so immature as to have spam bots advertising on Yahoo Answers? Nope.

Please don't download it.

Nope, despite what you hear from many applications, you can’t tell who views your profile. It's a violation of the terms of use on Facebook. I suppose that there may be an application, but using them will likely cause Facebook to delete your account without warning since you are violating the privacy rights of other people.

These profile viewing applications are not run or owned by the Facebook Company. These “fake” applications don’t work either and some may even contain viruses too! What’s worse is that it may even be owned by creepy people or hackers/stalkers that’ll take all of your Facebook data and use them for their own purpose (which probably isn’t good).

The Facebook help center also says that they “do not provide applications or groups with the technical means to allow people to track profile views or see statistics on how often a particular piece of content has been viewed and by whom. Applications you use may ask for permission to access content from your News Feed and Wall. Granting this permission does not allow applications to see who has viewed your profile. It simply allows applications to see which friends have interacted with posts, such as which friends liked or engaged with a particular wall post.” In other words, most of the applications don’t really know who has view your profile.

The good thing about this though is that you can look around other people’s profiles without getting discovered or caught. So yeah, you can go ahead and snoop around at your crush and you won’t get caught!

Hope this helps!!
