Can people see when you view their profile on facebook?

[totallycool]

I keep looking at this dudes profile whos not my friend but I know him. It would be really awkward if he could see. I look cuz he my bffs cousin and my sisters bffs brother and we know their family well and all and they all write hilarious things so i like to read them, but again if he could see it would be weird...

and i also think it would be interesting to know who sees MY profile...

No. Some people have'profile spy' that they say works, but it dosn't so don't belive them.

[Kristen S]

no, he wont be able to know that it's YOU viewing his profile.. why dont you add him as a friend and tell him how u think he's funny and interesting

NO they cannot.This is really one of the major defining features of facebook and the owners are really adamant about keeping it that way.Then again some apps are available which allow you to track profile views but none of them work very well and i doubt he has installed it

[iLoveCPB]

No, that would be against their privacy policy

My dear,

Its your mistake you can see information about another account but you can't see the profile of another account when you do not know user name and password of another account.

Nope, they can't. And that's why there is such a lot of stalking on facebook. Everyone knows that they can view whomever they want, and the other person won't know about it ever. And that's also why in my opinion, why facebook is so popular. If one knows that when they visit someone's profile, the person will know about it, well they will feel less inclined to view their pictures etc.So you can remain all day on facebook and spy all you like on whomever you like and no one will get a clue!

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!!
