How To See Who is Looking at Your Facebook Profile

Can You See who Views Your Facebook Profile?

Yes, you can! Though there are no official ways, you can do it making use of a ‘who viewed my Facebook profile Chrome extension’.

And, during my research, I have found out a real simple way for that, which doesn’t include any app download. I am not sure about its validity, though.

Are you carrying around the open problem ‘who has been viewing my Facebook profile’? Then, you are going to be enticed with my solution in the next section.

Find Who Viewed My Facebook Profile

I am going to describe two entirely different but cake walk-like process to see who has seen your Facebook profile. So, let me lead you to the core of this post without blabbering much.

Method 1: Using Facebook Profile View Notification Chrome Extension

For people looking forward to finding out who saw their Facebook profile must use this Chrome browser add-on. Follow the steps I will be describing below to know how the extension can be used to find out details on FB profile visit.

Step 1: First, you need to download the browser extension. As this one is for Google Chrome, you must download it from Chrome web store. Just visit and search for Facebook Profile View Notification there. And, you are good to go.

If you are a lazy lad like me, you can use thisdirect link to the extension in order to kick start ‘who viewed my Facebook profile saga’.

Step 2: You will see a web page like the image given above. As you install any other extension, simply click that blue Add to Chrome button out there. Be patient enough to give it a time to complete the download and installation process.

Step 3: You can see an extension installation notification after the same is completely added to the browser. Wow! With this, you have passed the half way to figuring out who has been visiting your Facebook profile.

Step 4: Now, visit www.facebook.com. Can you spot anything new there? Just send your eyes to the blue navigation bar with your timeline link, home, friend requests, messages, and notifications.

There, you can definitely see a new link called Visitors.

Step 5: Whenever you feel like finding out ‘who just viewed my Facebook profile,’ visit Facebook and click on the new link named Visitors. Then, you will be able to see the list of people who visits your Facebook profile.

NB.- I know it’s quite a useful extension. Truth be told, you can’t find out the entire people who are visiting your Facebook profile using this browser tool as it displays the names of people, using this add-on only. Lately, who viewed my Facebook profile virus was spreading all over the web. Fortunately, this one is not developed for user exploitation.

Method 2: Using the Browser Only {Unverified}

You only need a browser in order to check who looks at your Facebook profile using this method. The steps are given below.

Step 1: Visit facebook.com. You will see your news feed. But you have to be at your timeline here. So click the first name of yours given on the blue navigation bar on top of the web page.

Step 2: Right-click anywhere on the page to get the menu. And, click on View page source from the small menu you get. You can press Ctrl+ U instead. Both the actions return the same result.

Step 3: Now, you can see a long page with incomprehensible codes. Press Ctrl+ F at this step to get the search box. Then, search for “InitialChatFriendsList” without quotes.

Step 4: As you can see in the image, you will see a bunch of numbers after this text. Those are the profile IDs of people who recently visited your Facebook profile. To see whose IDs are those, you need to add the same after ‘facebook.com/’ and enter into the address bar of your browser.

N.B.- I am not sure about the legibility of this method. As I said earlier, I got this one during my research. The first method is limited for it displays people with Facebook Profile Notification extension only. But this one hasn’t got any

Save Yourself

Plenty of who viewed my Facebook profile apps are available on the web developed for the sole purpose of personal details theft. So make sure the app is from a reliable source before installation.
